Join Everyday Muslim at William Morris Gallery for an inspiring event celebrating the intersection of faith, art, and local culture in Walthamstow.

Engage in thought-provoking discussions with artists, scholars, and community members. Hear local Muslim artists and historians share their experiences of living and working in Walthamstow, the influence of William Morris, and how their faith shapes their art.

Take part in reflective conversations and a hands-on, creative activity. Design a pattern inspired by your personal stories or objects and contribute to a collaborative artistic map of Waltham Forest, blending Muslim and community art styles with Morris’s influence.

Celebrate Waltham Forest’s rich heritage through art, with all creations preserved in the Everyday Muslim Archive.

All materials provided—just bring your creativity and story! Don’t miss this unique chance to connect, reflect, and create something meaningful with your community.

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.
