William Morris: A Very Modern Victorian

July 13, 2024 at 7:30 pm

Now renowned for his work on the designed interior and his role in helping to found the Arts & Crafts Movement, in his lifetime William Morris was as well known for other talents – from poetry to publishing, heritage protection to social reform.

This talk will explore the breadth of Morris’s work and achievements, the influence that his work had then and the impact it continues to have now and will include rarely seen examples of works in his own hand, as well as many of the familiar patterns for which he is known.

Claudia Suckling is an architectural and art historian and Chief Executive of the William Morris Society, an organisation dedicated to ensuring the legacy of Morris continues and to preserving and sharing the remarkable collection of his original works that the Society holds in its Hammersmith museum.
