William Morris Inspired Art Workshop in Collins Barracks

18th May 2026

On Friday, our class had a fantastic trip to Collins Barracks for a fun art workshop inspired by the William Morris tapestry Flora. We looked closely at the beautiful flowers, patterns, and colours in the tapestry and talked about all the tiny details we could spot.

Next, we created our own flower drawings and used coloured paper to make bright and creative floral collages. Everyone used their imagination to design unique pieces of art.

At the end of the workshop, we looked at everyone’s creations and shared what we liked about each other’s work. It was wonderful to see so many different ideas and colourful designs. We had a great day learning, creating, and exploring art together with Miriam & Joyce from Collins Barracks!
