Inspiration for Learning

Kelmscott Manor’s ‘Inspiration for Learning’ programme aims to promote understanding of William Morris’ life and work.  The programme includes school study days, family/community events and specialist arts and education projects. 


Inspired by the Manor and its collection the programme includes a wide range of creative opportunities – including drawing, painting, weaving and embroidery.

News from Nowhere, a literature/craft project which took place at Kelmscott Manor in 2010, was inspired by Morris’ achievements in literature, publishing and design. The project featured creative workshops and the development of a teacher’s information pack and educational resources. 

The resources we now offer as downloads are activities that were created during the project. 

Our thanks are extended to bookbinder, Katherine O’Connell, and illustrator, Lesley Saddington, who devised these resources and to Renaissance South East for project funding.
