What I learned from studying William Morris: his life, career, and influences.
William Morris was one of the most significant designers of the 19th century, with an influence that is very much still alive today. He was a renaissance man of many skills, including masterful works of poetry and novels, translating ancient mythology, embroidery, tapestry, furniture, carpets, stained glass, tiles, textiles, wallpaper, books, and type. Join me in this conversation as we study the life, work, and influences of William Morris.
