Reclaim  |  ISSUE 56
‘Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.’ So said William Morris, in one of his most famous quotes.
We delve further into Morris’s life in this issue – his iconic patterns are having something of a renaissance. Not only was he a brilliant designer, but a writer, lecturer and revolutionary, too. Ahead of his time, in many ways, demanding equality and opportunity for all.
This giving voice and opportunity to everyone is why we have a regular ‘Reclaim with Heart’ section, and feature artists, makers and independent businesses. See our interview with Lin Evola, who uses decommissioned and illicit weapons to make beautiful ‘Peace Angels.’ And we speak to Babs Behan an expert on using natural and sustainable dyes for clothing and fabric.
Regular readers will notice a new section ‘Take a Moment’. Because whilst it’s important, like Morris, to engage with the wider world and help others, it’s vital to pause and nurture ourselves.
