The Textiles Of William And May Morris

Join the curators of the William Morris Gallery for an illustrated talk on the varied textile arts practised by Morris and his talented daughter May. Learn about the traditional techniques Morris & Co used to produce beautiful printed cottons, tapestries, carpets and embroideries and explore how he was influenced by Indian and Middle Eastern fabrics.

After a break for tea and coffee, the talk will be followed by a special screening of short films created for the William Morris Gallery’s new displays and a handling workshop where you can examine Morris’s textiles at first-hand. Booking essential.
