The William Morris Society Scarborough Cushion
This timeless Stained Glass cushion design embellished with hand-embroidered accents of golden olive, deep rose pink and dark desert sand, features an original watercolour design from the William Morris Society Archive.
Fine Cell Work were given exclusive access to the archive of The William Morris Society to create this exquisite cushion. It is based on a Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. wall design for St. Martin’s on the Hill church in Scarborough. This hand painted motif was photographed and then digitally printed onto pure linen to faithfully reproduce the exact colours of the original.
Pairs perfectly with the Flowers design from the same range

The William Morris Society
William Morris was a revolutionary force in Victorian Britain. His work dramatically changed the fashions and ideologies of the era and he remains as influential and important today as he was in his own time.
The William Morris Society was founded in 1955 to share knowledge of the life and works of William Morris amongst our members and the wider public.
The Society is based in the Coach House of Kelmscott House, Hammersmith, Morris’s London home for the last eighteen years of his life and where there is now a charming museum and event space.

By giving prisoners hope that transformation is truly possible, they can envision a meaningful life after release. But nobody tells the story of how Fine Cell Work has helped them better than the prisoners themselves:
“Stitching allows me to use a totally different part of my brain and personality. I can move away from the more difficult reflections and anxieties and feel creative and purposeful. This means I no longer feel that my life has come to a halt and that I am of no use to anyone else.”- Tom, FCW Stitcher -
