Come and join us for a William Morris Arts and Crafts Members afternoon tea buffet at the Grand. A great way to start the Christmas season early and get the chance to meet other members before the chaos of Christmas begins. We will start the afternoon with a new talk from accredited Arts Society lecturer Suzanne Fagence Cooper (see details below) followed by a sumptuous festive afternoon tea buffet.
Suzanne says of her lecture.
"We will follow the Christmas story, as it appears in Morris' early Pre-Raphaelite poetry, and in the paintings of his friends Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. We will see the glorious stained glass designs they created together - the glowing images of angels, the Nativity and the Magi. And we will explore Morris's wintry writings, in The Earthly Paradise. This lecture also highlights the little Christmas designs made and shared by Jane Morris. This lecture is a feast for the eyes". Suzanne Fagence Cooper.
