Description
A5 Journal Linen Effect Cover by William Morris.
In 1861, Morris established the first iteration of his business, originally named Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. with the ambition of transforming British design and craftsmanship. This venture marked a significant departure from the prevailing styles of the time, as Morris aimed to create beautiful, functional objects that emphasised artistry and quality.
William Morris emerged as a key figure in the Arts & Crafts movement, which sought to counteract the industrialization and mass production that dominated the 19th century. He believed that the artistry of handmade objects should be cherished and uphold a connection to nature and craftsmanship. To realise this vision, Morris dedicated himself to mastering various intricate techniques that would form the foundation of his future textile business.
He taught himself the delicate art of embroidery, learning to create patterns that resonated with harmony and flow. Morris also studied the processes of dyeing fabric, experimenting with natural dyes to provide vibrant colours. Additionally, he became skilled in block printing, a traditional method for producing repeating wallpaper designs. This meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship furthermore provided the essential skills needed to launch a successful textile enterprise. He eventually established his legacy as a revolutionary designer and a champion of the Arts & Crafts philosophy in Britain.
His original designs continue to be utilized in a wide range of products, including stationery. Women & Thoughts proudly offers a limited stock of Morris & Co. stationery sets for customers who appreciate quality and uniqueness.
