On Mending by Celia Pym is an inspiring book exploring visible mending, textile repair and the beauty found in worn, damaged and repaired clothing.
Inspired by Anni Albers’ seminal 1965 work On Weaving, this thoughtful paperback is not a traditional how-to guide. Instead, it offers an intimate look at the traces of wear we leave on our clothes and the creative possibilities of repair.
Drawing on Pym’s work as a leading contemporary craft practitioner, On Mending reflects on knitwear, textiles and the relationship between damage, use, memory and care.
A beautiful and thought-provoking book for anyone interested in mending, knitting, textile art, sustainable fashion and contemporary craft.
