I’m a keen member of the William Morris Society and was honoured to be the subject of the ‘Meet a Society Member’ feature in the Summer 2021 edition of the magazine.  I’ll be giving a lecture via Zoom for them on 4 December on ‘Arts and Crafts: the Russian Connection’, followed by an article in the Spring 2022 magazine, which will concentrate more on the textiles and how they found their way to Britain. I’ll post details nearer the time about how to access the lecture.
