On Demand: THREAD TALKS: Lucy Barter: May Morris-a Remarkable Crafts Woman

May Morris, daughter of William Morris, was an influential figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, best known for her work at the Morris & Co embroidery department. Recent publications and exhibits have brought May’s achievements out of the shadow of her father and his company, allowing us to discover more about May, her style, her skills and her aesthetic.

In this lecture, we focus on May Morris as an embroiderer and designer. We will explore the work she accomplished, her teaching, the lectures she gave, and the publication of “Decorative Needlework,” her introductory guide to embroidery.

The recording is not downloadable but will be available for viewing for at least one month after registration.

Lucy Barter is the co-founder of former San Francisco School of Needlework and Design. Before opening the school, Lucy was the proprietor of her own business, Forever Embroidery Studio.

Lucy created a Goldwork Embroidery class for the online craft forum Craftsy, and served as the US Course Coordinator and instructor for the Royal School of Needlework. In 2006, Lucy graduated from the Royal School of Needlework Apprenticeship Programme, and holds a BA Honors Degree in Fashion Design.

With a passion to teach and share the beauty of embroidery and needlework, after 25 years in the US, Lucy is working on a new solo venture that will be launched in 2025 in the UK.
