The William Morris Society

William Morris’s original Printing Press: Free Demonstration

Join us for FREE to see the original 1835 Albion Printing Press in action, used by William Morris himself, demonstrated by one of our talented volunteers. We are also offering free entry to the Society’s museum where you will have the opportunity to explore our new exhibition “Practically Magic: William Morris at Home in Hammersmith”.

This exhibition will focus on all aspects of Morris’s work that he dreamt up whilst spending time in the flourishing garden, fishing on the river, or studying ancient manuscripts in his library. The display will feature original hand drawn designs for textiles, wallpapers and books, share a glimpse into the house as it was when the Morris family resided there, and
highlight memorabilia from Morris’s days as a leading figure in the Socialist League.
