Morris & Co | An Adelaide Obsession – Unveiling Adelaide’s Love Affair with the Arts & Crafts Movement
Carrick Hill invites you to explore Adelaide’s deep-rooted connection to Morris & Co. with a stunning new exhibition, Morris & Co | An Adelaide Obsession, running from 26 March to 30 June 2025.
Founded by William Morris, a pioneer of the Arts & Crafts Movement, Morris & Co. championed quality handmade design in an era of industrial progress. Adelaide embraced Morris’s philosophy thanks to the Barr Smith family, whose passion for the movement shaped the city’s design aesthetic. Ursula Hayward, a descendant of the Barr Smiths and Carrick Hill’s original owner, inherited their love for Morris & Co., filling her home with exquisite textiles, wallpapers, and furniture.
The exhibition features pieces from Carrick Hill’s collection, loans from the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA)—home to the world’s largest Morris & Co. collection outside London—and rarely seen works from private collections.
During the April school holidays, kids can get hands on at two print making sessions:
Morris & Co inspired lino print making for 10-14 year olds | 15 April BOOK HERE
Morris & Co inspired Gelli print making for 5-9 year olds | 16 April BOOK HERE
Don’t miss this unique glimpse into Adelaide’s artistic heritage.
