Summary:
"Following on from her
textile
hit, 'Slow stitch,' author Claire Wellesley-Smith considers the importance of
connection
and ideas around wellbeing when using textiles for individuals and communities. Practical ideas around 'thinking-throughmaking', using 'resonant' materials and extending the life of pieces using traditional and non-traditional methods. Contemporary
textile
artists using these themes in their work feature alongside personal work from Claire and examples from community-based
textile
projects. The book features some of the very best
textile
artists about, esteemed American fibre artists and the doyenne of textiles, Alice Kettle. Resilient fabrics that can be manipulated, stressed, withstand tension and be made anew are recommended throughout the book, as well as techniques such as layering, patching, reinforcing, re-stitching and mending. Plus ideas for the inclusion of everyday materials in your work. An extended chapter called 'Emotional' finds way to link your emotional health with your
textile
practice, and 'Community' suggests ways to make connections with others in your regular
textile
work. 'Landscape' has a range of suggestions and examples of immersing your work in the local landscape, a terrific way to find meaning in your work and a sense of place. The
connection
between wellbeing and the creation of textiles has never been stronger, and, as a leading exponent of this campaign, Claire is the perfect author to help you find more than just a finished
textile
at the end of a project.
