Looking at the women of the Arts and Crafts movement. Although women were at first not allowed to be part of the Arts Guild, they created a niche for themselves in illustration, painting, enamelled porcelain, repousse copper and especially embroidery. In 1907, May Morris, daughter of William, who was also Director of embroidery at her fathers workshop set up the Womens Guild of Arts. Margaret, wife of Charles Rennie Mackintosh was closely involved in his work, and contributed towards some of his well known illustrations. The pictured ceramic plate c. 1910 was enamelled by Ann MacBeth, artist and embroidery instructor at the Glasgow School of Art, and the repousse copper charger c. 1902 is by Isobel McBean, a notable designer of the Keswick School of Arts. #OldTullieHouse Check out this link to see some of the embroidery and jewellery designed by May Morris collections.vam.ac.uk/search/?listing_type=list&offset=0&limit=15&narrow=1&extrasearch=&q=&quality=0&objectnamesearch=&placesearch=&after=&after-adbc=AD&before=&before-adbc=AD&namesearch=May+Morris&materialsearch=&mnsearch=&locationsearch=
