In Conversation with Pete Brown
With Hadrian Garrard
OFF SITE
Wednesday 18 September 2024
A William Morris Design Line event for London Design Festival 2024.
DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. MORE INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED WHEN A NEW DATE IS CONFIRMED.
Join Hadrian Garrard, Director of William Morris Gallery, for a special conversation with Pete Brown, award-winning food and drink writer and author of Craft: An Argument, winner of Best Beer Book at the North American Guild of Beer Writers Award.
At this special event – taking place in a craft brewery just down the road from the childhood home of William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts movement – they will talk about what might make something ‘craft’ (or not). Also up for grabs are the changing nature of work, to what extent how a thing is made affects the thing itself, the advance of the robots and when is a nice drink just a nice drink.
The event will take place in Exale Brewery and Taproom – an independent craft brewery in Walthamstow.
Times:
6-7pm – doors open
7-8pm – talk

About William Morris Design Line
William Morris Gallery is excited to be part of this year’s William Morris Design Line, which shines a light on the richness of Waltham Forest’s past and present creative community and encourages visitors to discover, learn and interact with an incredible range of design, making and creative activity.
The William Morris Design Line was created by Wood Street Walls in 2020, as part of the Local Trust’s Creative Civic Change Programme in collaboration with William Morris Big Local. It helped establish a community-led design route through Walthamstow as part of London Design Festival. The 2024 edition, programmed in partnership with Waltham Forest Council, will extend to Lea Bridge for the first time to showcase designers and makers across the Argall Industrial Area. It is a Design District for London Design Festival 2024.
