The William Morris Gallery, situated in his boyhood home inWalthamstow, is a new venue for us - we only just realised it was open on Tuesdays!
First, a look around at the current exhibitions -
Graphics from the Cultural Revolution in China link to Morris, I suppose, via his socialist ideas.
When it came to sitting down to draw, I took a cue from this model -
and used circles as templates to "just play" -
Elsewhere, a plethora (a committee??) of chairs - by Janet B -
... by Judith -
... by Sue -
Janet K found a lithograph by Frank Brangwyn, 1890 -
Najlaa juxtaposed the black and white kimono, with its red neck, and a teapot -
And now some flowers ... Carol's hellebore -
Joyce's textile was designed for Morris & Co by
John Henry Dearle -
Another flower design, by Judith -
Extracurricular activities -
Carol had no sooner drawn this display of bags outside a shop than she had an interesting conversation with a "bag lady" -
... and later she attended a life drawing session - these poses were 20 minutes each =
Janet K found that the gnarled old willow outside her window was greening, or is it yellowing -
... and Janet B had had another go at the architecture of King's Place -
