Margaret Macdonald: The Other Mackintosh of Glasgow Style (PieceWork, Summer 2022)

Embroidered panel of two stylized women by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh

When you walk the streets of Glasgow, Scotland you’ll be struck how much the city loves the local architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. However, Mackintosh’s wife Margaret Macdonald was also a wonderful artist. I believe that she should be recognized for her contributions to the distinctive Glasgow Style. My latest article in PieceWork examines her influence on Art Nouveau and Glasgow style, her collaborations with her husband, and her embroidery and printed textile design.

If you would like to learn more about Margaret Macdonald, please read my article in the Summer 2022 issue of PieceWork magazine. The magazine can be purchased online here or at your local craft store. Check out my other publications here!
