Really fantastic and thorough!
Ms. Bennett does a superb job of bringing William Morris to life.
Morris was so prolific, with a fascinating life. Hattie did a stellar job of unveiling his personality and his design contributions. Those in Morris' circle, too, were studied in context.

Though I was familiar with Morris' distinctive wallpaper designs and furniture style, I knew little about the man himself. This seminar gave me a firm footing to spring board off into further studies. Ms Bennett gives amble information to understand Morris' influences and times. I very much appreciated all the visuals that accompanied the talk.
