Sammy’s Note: back in 2019, I was asked to host a workshop at Dovecote Studios in Edinburgh, alongside a May Morris exhibition. Morris was a fantastic woman: an advocate for women’s textile arts and lead embroiderer in her father William Morris’ textile design company. This kit was directly inspired by her floral, countryside themed work – so I hope I’ve done her justice!
