William Morris & Art from the Islamic World

Dilettanti was founded by Sarah Bowles and Philippa Barton in 1980 to encourage the study and the enjoyment of the arts. The programme of events is made up of full and half days of visits, often combining  background lectures by expert speakers, which provide a context to the particular subject.

Dilettanti

The exhibition sets out to explore Morris’s fascination with the arts from the Islamic world and their impact on his designs.

William Morris Gallery

An Ottoman quilt, Iznik tiles, Turkish and Iranian textiles, carpets and metalwork are among the stunning objects in this gorgeous exhibition which sets out to explore Morris’s fascination with the arts from the Islamic world and their impact on his designs, in particular textiles and wallpapers, and their influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement. Rowan Bain, Curator, William Morris Gallery will guide us.
