Exploring pattern: William Morris
Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist
William Morris is well known for the patterns that adorn the walls and windows of homes around the world. Using some basic materials and equipment, print artist Rachel shares a series of exercises experimenting with shape, line and repeat.
Your prints will be inspired by Morris's designs during his time at The Red House and beyond.
