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 'I find this a wonderful and worthy enterprise that I am sure will deepen and enrich thinking of artists and scholars, myself among them.'Surfacing JournalMore details
