This 'Daffodil' wallpaper was designed for Morris & Co by Morris's head designer, John Henry Dearle, c.1890.

Nice to see mention of embroidery teaching at #MancSchArt in this article in today's Observer. Finally, stitch-based ways of working are getting some recognition. #handstitch #creativity #lockdown2021 @StitchingTgthr #womansart #makingisconnecting #phdlife

Thank you to all who watched Creative Comparisons and to @emilyjogibbs and @ProfKneebone for a fascinating discussion. So many questions there wasn’t time to answer. Here’s a link to Emily’s The Value of Making project to see more about her and her work. bit.ly/3fcSM8a

In the depths of lockdown, our #ArtForAll Community participants, supported by the Park Barn Centre, received postal workshop packs and drew their own flocks of birds. With thanks to @ArtinTransit1, a colouring book full of the participants' drawings has been made! 🎨

We have missed welcoming our community groups into @WattsGallery this year but have been so pleased to see participants' eagerness to continue workshops via post and online.
Here is a snap of us getting our Clay Club pottery course kits ready for participants in Opportunities.
