Tile Decorating Workshop with Yinka Ilori

On Sunday 21st May, the public will have the chance to join designer and interior curator of The Magnum Home, Yinka Ilori, in a tile decorating workshop. Ilori’s work draws on both his London upbringing and his Nigerian heritage, and is often influenced by traditional Nigerian parables; during the workshop, a soundtrack of the artist’s favourite Afrobeats, hip-hop and grime will provide the soundtrack and inspiration for the participants, along with the aphorism 'If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together'. Attendees will work with motifs of Dutch wax prints and paint to design their wooden tiles; music, colour and the process itself will prompt participants to translate thought-provoking stories through their materials. All tiles will be available to take home at the end of the session.

This workshop is part of a programme of events spanning our time at The Magnum Home.
