Join the Everyday Muslim Heritage and Archive Initiative for an engaging workshop at William Morris Gallery. Explore how heritage, memory, and design connect across generations. Uncover links to Islamic design, heritage, or craft through your stories or a personal object.

This hands-on session invites you to share narratives, reflect on the influence of William Morris, and design a pattern inspired by your stories or objects. Your creation will form part of an artistic map of Waltham Forest, showcasing Muslim and broader community arts while celebrating the borough’s diversity.

All materials provided— just bring your story or object!

The Bridging Histories Workshops are devised to bring people together to explore and celebrate the connections between William Morris’s designs, Islamic art, and the diverse cultural heritage of Waltham Forest. This is 1 of 3 workshops taking place on the 1st, 6th and 8th February. See the related events link below for more information.
