Zoom Lecture “William Morris in Four Continents” 22 January 2026
“William Morris in Four Continents”
Thursday, 22nd January 2026
7.30 pm
A lecture by Carolyn Smith
William Morris ‘might have claimed justly, even in 1885, to be known in the four continents. No quarter of the globe but contains either stained glass, carpets, tapestries, or other works of art from the firm of Morris and Co.’ Thus wrote Morris’s first biographer. How and why did these works get there? Carolyn Smith will explore the USA, Europe, India, Australia and even an island in the Pacific Ocean!
Carolyn Smith, Chairman of the Arts and Crafts Movement in Surrey Society, read history at University College London, specialising in architectural history. She has a particular interest in social and garden history.
