Join The Friends of William Morris Gallery for an illustrated evening talk with Róisín Inglesby and Rose Sinclair as they explore the role of women designers within the 150-year history of Liberty textiles. This event is organised by The Friends of William Morris Gallery but is open to both members and non-members.

Tracing the rich history of Liberty Fabrics, the exhibition Women in Print surveys the evolving influence and status of women in textiles over the past 150 years. Women in Print brings together iconic patterns by designers such as Althea McNish, Susan Collier and Sarah Campbell, and Lucienne Day, alongside previously overlooked names, celebrating how women have been — and continue to be — at the heart of Liberty’s creative innovations and ongoing relevance today. It features over 100 works, spanning garments, fabric, original designs, film and historic photographs. Read more about the exhibition.
