Join us for a special Curator Tour of The Art of Wallpaper: Morris & Co. on the first Thursday of every month.

Explore how Morris & Co. transformed wallpaper through hand-block printing, pattern, and a belief that beauty and craftsmanship should shape everyday life. From Morris’s early nature-inspired work to the wider Arts & Crafts designs produced by the firm, we’ll look at how these wallpapers redefined interiors and modern taste. The tour also highlights how ideas on art, craft, and social purpose resonated with G F and Mary Watts and the artistic community at Compton.
