Here’s your chance to use the same printing press as the father of the arts and crafts movement in his W6 studio 

A printing workshop – using Morris’s own Albion Press – is being staged by the William Morris Society in Hammersmith on Saturday 22 February.

The focus will be on abstract floral motif-making, using letter press typography to create card designs.

Led by printmaker Jenny Bell, the workshop will let participants look beyond the shapes of individual letters to create repeat patterns with .

All materials are provided, and no experience is needed. The workshop is being held at Kelmscott House, which was Morris’s London home for the last 18 years of his life.

The society’s aim is to keep William Morris, his life and work, at the forefront of public attention.

Tickets for the event (10am-noon, Saturday 22 February) are £40, and it is being staged by the William Morris Society at Kelmscott House, 26 Upper Mall, W6 9TA. For more details, visit: https://williammorrissociety.org/event/printmaking-abstract-floral-motifs-2/
