Cray wrapping paper

$24.00
William Morris's "Cray" print, designed in 1884, is one of the many iconic textile patterns created by the influential British artist, designer, and writer. Known for his role in the Arts and Crafts Movement, Morris sought to bring beauty into everyday life through handcrafted design that celebrated nature, craftsmanship, and simplicity. The "Cray" pattern is a perfect example of this philosophy.

The design takes its name from the River Cray in southeastern England, which likely inspired its naturalistic motifs. "Cray" features a lush, winding composition of foliage, flowers, and intertwining vines in a highly stylized yet harmonious arrangement. The flowing nature of the pattern reflects Morris's fascination with medieval tapestries and his mastery of organic, rhythmic forms. The intricate details and vibrant colors were created using block-printing techniques, a hallmark of Morris's textiles, which he believed were a return to more authentic, artisanal production methods compared to the industrial processes of his time.
