About

Morley College London was founded to provide lifelong educational opportunities for diverse communities in London. It has grown its reputation with a unique strength in its specialist curriculum across the arts. Their teachers, makers and mentors are also artists. With unparalleled teaching, support and guidance, they connect students with awards, recognition and industry opportunities. Everyone at Morley is there to grow their skills, knowledge and experience in an accessible and like-minded learning community with some of the best facilities in London.

Morley College’s founder Emma Cons was an artist, social reformer and Suffragette. She was a true Londoner: forward-thinking, open-minded and determined to make a good life accessible to all.  Everything Morley College does to this day is about furthering these opportunities at their three centres in inner London.

The Waterloo Centre is here for the curious — for those who want to learn while joining others in their pursuit of knowledge. Explore workshops in textiles, jewellery, ceramics, drawing, painting, bookbinding, printmaking and fashion, alongside a Penny Lecture presenting the work of the Clayground Collective.

By linking art and practical skills, people can make a living doing what they love. But it’s also about the people you meet along your journey. Come and join Morley College for London Craft Week and find your calling.
