On loan from The William Morris Society, this beautiful exhibition will explore the wide-ranging talents and accomplishments of May Morris (1862-1938), the younger daughter of Arts & Craft designer, William Morris (1834-1896). 
The exhibition includes May’s original designs for embroidery and wallpapers for Morris & Co., and showcases May’s considerable achievements, including her tremendous efforts in establishing the Women’s Guild of Arts. The exhibition shines a light on May’s individual talent in both craft and design and her achievements in enabling female artists and crafts makers to fully engage in the artistic community, giving her the recognition she richly deserves.
