For individual scholars and makers, the journal provides a useful resource and will be a pleasure to collect and possess.'- Times Higher Education'I welcome this journal as an exciting event, which has been long overdue. It provides a window into the vast field of textiles, which is the very fabric of our life.'Jasleen Dhamija, Independent Scholar'Textile aims to publish cutting-edge research into the meanings of cloth, within the broadest context of material and visual culture. On this first showing, the publication is not only academic but accessible, with diverse contributions presented in a readable format. Textile shows that wider cultural interest in 'the crafts' comes when we dare to move beyond the narrow concerns of tradition and technique.- Crafts
