Hencroft - Punch Avis

The prolific output of William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement is widely evident within the National Trust portfolio, not least at Morris’s own London home ‘Red House’. He was a visitor, ‘student’ and 19th Century influencer at the Hencroft Works in Leek, where his friend Thomas Wardle taught and experimented with dyeing fabrics and printing papers with natural inks. This design – a stitched, repeating pattern of stylised cowslips – was found at Wardle’s school of embroidery in Leek, and has been effortlessly translated into a wallpaper design in eight stunning colourways.  Little Greene Ready Mixed Wallpaper Paste (2.5kg / 5kg) must be used with Little Greene wallpapers to ensure the best results.
