The Omega Workshops Ltd. was a design enterprise founded by members of the Bloomsbury Group and established in July 1913.[1] It was located at 33 Fitzroy Square in London, and was founded with the intention of providing graphic expression to the essence of the Bloomsbury ethos.[2] The Workshops were also closely associated with the Hogarth Press and the artist and critic Roger Fry, who was the principal figure behind the project, believed that artists could design, produce and sell their own works, and that writers could also be their own printers and publishers.[3] The Directors of the firm were Fry, Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell.[1]
