EP Workshop Roundup #1: GIANT LETTERS

Written by: jeremy

This is the first in a series of posts documenting PDA‘s weekly workshops at PARC, where we will be training members of their community to refurbish and remake furniture out of found objects in order to furnish PARC’s new social housing project Edmond Place. To learn more about the project and our involvement click here.

This was our third workshop, and we didn’t have members of PARC’s community attend, nor did we work on found objects. Instead we were making giant letters because Victor (PARC Guru) invited us to design a sign that will be displayed on the scaffolding of Edmond Place while it is under construction.  Adam Harris of PDA worked out a beautiful and unique design where four 4′x4′ plywood panels will read HOME.  At this workshop we cut and primed the signs and had a gay ol’time. We also started to think about what HOME means to us. What does it mean to you? The signs will be done by the end of next week so check back for more pictures.

Adam and Parimal cutting.

What does home mean for you?
