Such exquisite studies. It's wonderful to see May Morris increasingly recognised not only as an influential designer and embroiderer, but also as a gifted artist in her own right. 🌹

Did you know that May Morris, William’s daughter, is the one responsible for creating most of these designs? Yep! Not a widely known fact. May was involved in progressive causes in UK politics about gender and class inequity. May designed in embroidery and wallpaper too. #MayMorris #KaffeFassett

15 Art: My latest(ish - they're running in parallel at the moment) book is about the Arts and Crafts movement, focussed on May and Jane Morris (& a fictional working class heroine). I paint for self-care & fun, adore MANY artists (Remedios Varo a favourite) & STRONGLY believe anyone can be an artist

Happy Birthday, May Morris! Born #onthisday in 1862, May was the youngest daughter of William and Jane. Today would've been her 163rd birthday!🎁

May was a gifted embroiderer and designer who led Morris & Co.'s embroidery department at just 23🧵💙

A square panel embroidered by May Morris. According to the object page on the William Morris Gallery website, "the overall design is worked in split, long, short and satin stich in silks on a gauze background. The outer border of the roundel is inscribed with the opening lines of Robert Herrick’s (1591-1674) poem ‘Welcome, maids of honour, you do bring in the Spring and wait upon her,’ worked in Gothic lettering. Four birds with outstretched wings are placed in the four corners." And there are flowers and leaves embroidered in the center of the roundel.
