About

Ornamentum celebrates and critically addresses design and decorative arts in Canada. Articles examine the makers, meanings, aesthetics, practices, traditions and innovations of Canadian material culture for a general audience. The print magazine has a complementary website
(ornamentum.ca) with web-exclusive content.
The CSDA/CCAD publishes Ornamentum twice yearly, with articles in both French and English written by makers, scholars, collectors, and journalists. A national Editorial Advisory Committee counsels the editorial staff on direction and content.
