William Morris Prints

First we made our printing/stamping tools using string and foam

William Morris Artwork

This week we have been studying the prints of William Morris. William Morris was an artist who designed prints that were fashionable as textiles and wallpaper during Victorian Times. His work is all about the natural world (plants, flowers and animals), and is always symmetrical (repeating patterns).
In class we made our own William Morris-style designs. First we made printing equipment from sponges, string and even potatoes, and then started making our designs.
