It was as if the walls could speak...
That’s how it felt in William Morris’s workroom, when I was privileged to work on restoring the great man’s curtains at Kelmscott Manor. I had been a fan of his for years, but had never felt so close to him as when I worked away alone in the atmospheric place where he had produced his most beautiful designs. William Morris died 120 years ago today, but his textiles are loved as much as ever, inspired by a place that he called ‘the loveliest haunt of ancient peace'.
