The Life and Times of William Morris: Textile Arts Council of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

9/9/2020 Meet William Morris through the video “Gardening with Silk and Gold Thread”: The Botanical Designs & Ecosocial Activism of William Morris” and then make a virtual visit to Merton Abbey, Morris’s dyeworks and workshop, and Kelmscott Manor, his beloved country home. At Kelmscott our focus is his bed hangings, hand embroidered by his wife Jane and daughter May, and emblazoned with Morris’s poem ‘Inscription for an Old Bed.’ Our guides are Virginia and Bill Solomon of the Artists Reenactors Guild.
