Part of Totally Thames 2025, hosted at Bankside Hotel’s Art Yard Makers Studio.
Step into an immersive open studio with British painter Lyra Morgan as she explores the Thames in colour, texture and movement. Be Still in Flow is a painterly meditation on water’s energy and quiet power—created in real time from the heart of Bankside.
What to expect
Across the month, Lyra transforms the studio into a calm, process-led workspace where visitors can watch works evolve and learn how the river’s rhythms inform her practice. This is a drop-in, behind-the-scenes experience—come for five minutes or settle in and soak up the flow.
