May Morris Designs: The Essence and Soul of Beautiful Embroidery reusable A set of 2 printsMay Morris (18621938) is recognised today as a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement, a leading exponent of decorative needlework and a campaigner for women artists. Despite being one of the foremost practitioners of her generation, it was design that May described as the very soul and essence of beautiful embroidery.
