A really niece gift

 A surprise gift arrived yesterday from my niece and her partner. A most welcome and generous gift-

It is about the Arts and Crafts movement in Poland , something I knew virtually nothing about. It is part of a forthcoming exhibition in the William Morris Gallery in  Walthamstow, London commencing in August 2021.  I would really like to go to that exhibition and it is the first time I have made plans in my mind to travel to a particular event. Like many folk I have mused over visiting favourite places but this is the nearest to reality. So Walthamstow 2021 , that’s a date!
The above is a link to an interesting introductory video about the exhibition.

  1. This looks a great exhibition (and book) - the Tatra Mountains photos are very interesting. I have forwarded this video link to a Polish artist friend of our family.

    1. Strangely I was drawn to those very same photos Mark. I hope your friend finds the link interesting.

  2. I used to live around the corner from the William Morris gallery! Perhaps ironically, soon after I left it had a major makeover - it's very good if you are interested in that period and style. Let's hope you can get there for the show.

  3. Thanks for flagging this up. Some of that work is stunning. I’m not massively into Arts & Crafts but I’ve just ordered the book for my sister who is.

    If things are open I think I’ll book to go to the exhibition.

  4. Your sister will love the book. Already my two arty daughters are oohing and ahhing over the illustrations. I am optimistic about the exhibition happening, I really am. Something to look towards these dark days of midwinter.
