Synopsis

Following on from Slow Stitch, Claire Wellesley-Smith considers how textile practice can support ideas of connection, for both individuals and communities. Practical approaches are included, from “thinking-through making” and working with “resonant” materials to extending the life of pieces using traditional and non-traditional methods.

Contemporary textile artists appear alongside the author’s own work and examples drawn from community-based projects, with techniques such as layering, patching, reinforcing, re-stitching and mending recommended throughout. Chapters including “Emotional”, “Community” and “Landscape” offer ways to link emotional health to making, build connections through regular practice, and immerse work in the local landscape. With 120 colour illustrations, it is suited to textile artists looking to develop a considered, wellbeing-focused approach.
