William Morris gave over 500 talks in about a year and it left him exhausted and IME was a significant contribution to his early death. So no in that respect we don't find him inspiring, but find it much more relaxing, enjoyable and interesting by taking a more leisurely pace so to speak. Not that the other half would agree!
We admire Morris for what he had to say and how he put it in fact his, 'How we live and how we might live' provides an excellent analysis and explanation on what we've got and what we can get. Copy from 52 Clapham High St.
Yes Morris did envisage producing art in labour, not sure whether or not if he thought it possible in capitalism and it was made available for the workers. Yes members of the SPGB have been known to be involved with art workshops and craft groups. Not sure about now though. I do know quite a few who are advice workers and support workers with the homeless, etc. Which I use to do before I retired.
