About this Event
Join us:
The River Wandle has a rich history as the beating heart of local craft and industry - most famously as the home of William Morris's textile factory. As part of London Rivers Week 2026, we are hosting a free, linoprint workshop to celebrate the river and its creative legacy.
This event is aimed at people aged 16 and above. Younger people are welcome but they must be accompanied by an adult at all times and this activity may not be fully age appropriate.
What you'll do:
- Carve your own William Morris inspired floral linoprint tile - we'll provide templates for you to use and adapt.
- Print your design and take your tile home with you (to keep or gift to a loved one)
- Spend the afternoon making by the river - no previous experience required.
