Part of the William Morris & Art from the Islamic World events programme. This hands-on workshop invites participants to explore the intricate relationship between textiles, patterns, and cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the William Morris & Art from the Islamic World exhibition. Through the lens of William Morris’s work, known for its rich detail and connection to both Islamic art and design traditions, participants will delve into the beauty and craftsmanship of fabrics and patterns as key storytelling elements. During the workshop, we will examine some of the materials on display, particularly the fabrics that influenced Morris’s designs, alongside similar textiles and prints from the Islamic world. Dana will share insights into the materials they use in their own practice. Participants will then create their own mixed-material accessory or fabric collages, combining Morris-inspired patterns with elements of Islamic artistry and fabrics (for example velvet, damask etc..) coins, beads, and other elements, all of which help tell a story of cultural exchange, history, and identity. By blending these influences with collected materials, each participant will infuse their personal style into their creation. For adults (18+) Tickets: pay by donation (suggested £10) If booking for more than one person, you will be asked for this information when confirming your booking.
