Research Visit to William Morris Gallery

The William Morris Gallery is set within the newly revamped Lloyd Park, Walthamstow.  I was truly blessed not only was it a beautiful day but there was free parking outside! Yay!  After calling to arrange a study visit I was greeted by the lovely ……… who gave me exclusive access to the museum and archives.

It was a blessing to be able to browse the collection freely uninterrupted and was able to experience the essence of the collection and methods used to create the beautiful textiles and wallcoverings.  I was able to  collect an array of inspirational imagery a selection of which I share with you….
