William Morris is a bit of a crafts hero. He was a craftsman, designer, writer, socialist and conservationist who was part of Britian's Arts and Crafts Movement between 1880 and 1910. He could embroider, weave, dye and print and was the designer of some amazing fabrics and patterns.
London's William Morris Gallery, set in Morris's 18th-century family home, shows off a large collection of his work, and now it can show off some of your work too.
The gallery is calling for submissions for a group show inspired by the life and work of William Morris. All London-based artists, craftsmen and craftswomen can enter their submission which must be inspired by Morris's work.
It's more than just an opportunity to make a tribute to a pioneer of craft. The first prize is a solo show at the Gallery itself.
The deadline is July 1st so there is plenty of time to get along and see what Morris was all about before you get crafting your entry.
All information on how to apply and conditions of entry can be found here.
