For London Design Festival, Morag Myerscough is hosting an area walk of Bankside Design District, followed by a pattern workshop at Borough Market. Understand the process behind Morag Myerscough's designs for the independent state of Bankside and 'Colourful Crossings' work.

Additional text

Morag Myerscough’s mantra is ‘make happy those who are near and those who are far will come’. Born and Bred, London, Myerscough has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by how words, colour, pattern and structures can change brutal urban environments and peoples perceptions of spaces into places. Her work is characterised by an engaging boldness, creating specific, local responses to each distinct audience that will see and experience the work, using it to create community and build identity.

Kicking off the Festival, Morag Myerscough is hosting an area walk of Bankside Design District, followed by a pattern workshop at Borough Market on 15 September.

Under her guidance, participants will be encouraged to sketch shapes, colours and patterns of the local area before reworking their designs in a workshop using simple base grids. The session will be an opportunity to find out more about Myerscough's own distinctive style and approach to pattern design.

This workshop also links to Myerscough's 'Colourful Crossings' work and designs for the independent state of Bankside, a series of flags created by London's leading artists and designers. Both feature intricate geometric patterns imbued with details from Bankside's surrounding architecture.
