William Morris: Acanthus Artisan Art Sketch Book

Artisan Art Sketch Books from Flame Tree come in a range of hues to suit the moment and are embellished with a wide variety of well-known art on their tactile, vegan leather covers. They’re carefully crafted with decorated page edges overflowing with petals, teasing vines and patterns. A unique blend of the practical and beautiful, with two ribbons and thick white paper stock that makes them ideal for sketching and drawing. Perfect as a gift, and an essential personal choice for artists, notetakers, travellers, students, poets and diarists. And with robust flexi covers they’re a pleasure to use. Simply, they feel good! Born in Walthamstow, Essex, William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions.
