William Morris (1834-96), was a designer, writer, and typographer. The William Morris Society highlights the work of this prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement.
The website describes itself as
Founded in 1971, the William Morris Society in the United States is a group of scholars and enthusiasts brought together in fellowship by our shared interest in the life and works of the nineteenth-century writer, designer, and political thinker William Morris.
The blog houses a number of interesting articles. There is also information on the site about publications. In the resources section there are links to sites that relate to his work, events and conferences. For anyone who is interested in the Arts and Crafts movement make yourself a cuppa and browse the William Morris Society.
Hi Sharon,
I am going to a function at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney on Saturday — it’s a high tea and symposium accompanying the William Morris exhibition they are hosting from the Art Gallery of SA. I am not sure if there are any places left at the “high tea” but the exhibition would be great to see for those in Sydney. I will post a report on my blog after I have attended the symposium and give the exhibition details or a link to the PH Museum if I can find one.
Hi Sharon,
I was so excited about this that I forgot to add my blog address: http://mishmashetc.blogspot.com/
Thanks again for the inspiration.
