The Forgotten Legacy of May Morris
Most people know about William Morris because of his popular textile and wallpaper designs. However, his fame has often overshadowed the talent and success of his daughter, May Morris. May was a pioneer of art embroidery, and a significant figure in the arts and crafts movement. This podcast shines new light on May Morris as an artist in her own right.
