William Morris is a very inspiring read, he was a man of many hobbies and passions. William Morris was a jack of all trades, hoping to bring back a more chivalric mentality through the use of art and crafts. During a time of extreme industrial growth Morris found that acknowledging the god in nature would hopefully influence people to have more moral and spiritual integrity (obviously that didn't work out, no harm in trying though, right?).
Morris long dreamed of weaving tapestries in the medieval manner, which he called "the noblest of the weaving arts."
"William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896) was an English textile designer, artist, writer, and socialist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the English Arts and Crafts Movement. Morris wrote and published poetry, fiction, and translations of ancient and medieval texts throughout his life."
