Thank you for your reportage of William Morris, why was he never Sir William Morris? After all he contributed art and ideas that have meant so much and continue to mean so much to England and to the world. I am so glad that his home and work areas have been preserved for future generations. Thanks for keeping up this important work of keeping William Morris and others like him alive and in our collective thoughts💐
Hi Jessye, hope you are well - I keep looking out for more of your videos but you seem to have been quiet for a while. On one of your vids I mentioned looking into the Caira sisters, (cant remember which vid it was, sorry!), as great examples of powerful women in the art world of the early 1900's. Did you manage to find anything? I've got someone else you may be interested in from much earlier - late 1700's to early 1800's to be exact. A pewter manufacturer called Susannah Cocks. She took over her husbands business when he died at a young age and made a great success of it, shocking the London regency society of the time. Again, not a great deal of information about her other than examples of her pewter items which can still be found if you trawl the auction sites and antique shops. Hope this is of interest to you and all the best :-)
Kelmscott Manor is NOT in Oxford but is in the village of Kelmscott in West Oxfordshire, close to the border with Gloucestershire. I do wish self-proclaimed experts would get their facts right.
You know Morris is such a relavant figure today. Not just in terms of social justice and climate change but his philosophy on hand made things. People are returning to taking up lost skills like embroidery and furniture design and regenerative agriculture and …. meaning creative hobbies and careers. There are trends to rather having a sustainable wardrobe of well made properly fitting clothes from natural fibres. People are tired of the repercussions of fast fashion and design trends which take something beautiful and exploit it as a trend until it’s sickening to look at. I think a Netflix series on Morris and his interactions with people (philosophers artists craftsmen) and his personal character arc would be absolutely inspiring and extremely popular! The world is ripe for an arts and crafts revival movement!
Williams Arts & Crafts movement is verry relevant today . If only to learn modern lefttists what Socialism originaly stood for . To enlighten the lives of everyday working Brittish people , and bring beauty and harmony in their lives . How differend today with Woke , LHBTI , mass immigration and the likes . To me they forgott about the nation and its culture completely , to create a distopy in stead of harmony . Long live William Morris .
