William Morris Gallery

As part of London Craft Week, I was invited by the William Morris Gallery,, the childhood home of the renowned designer and artist, to host a live tattooing session. The event allowed visitors to observe the complete design process in real time, merging art and history in a unique, interactive experience.

In the Gallery’s archives, I explored Morris's iconic floral designs, drawing inspiration from the wide variety of flowers he so expertly employed in his work. This research led to the creation of a series of watercolor paintings, which were then made available as limited edition prints for purchase during the event.

After the development stage, an open call was launched to select a member of the public to receive the final tattoo design. Dressed by florist Matthew Richardson, and in collaboration with Parliament Tattoo, the event attracted the highest number of single-day visitors to the gallery during 2020, bringing Morris's legacy to a young, creative audience.
