A Remarkable Woman – May Morris and her Circle: Talk at May Morris Study Day

Date: 15 September 2025
Time: 12.15-1.15pm
Location: Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum East Cliff Promenade, Bournemouth, BH1 3AA

A child of the Arts & Crafts movement, May Morris was born at the Red House and grew up in the bohemian, complicated, and often heartbreaking atmosphere of her parents’ artistic milieu. She became a prolific artist, as well as a fervent suffragist, and cultivated her own fascinating circle of friends, yet May remained in the shadow of her famous father and – until recent years – was seldom given credit for her own work.
