Rag Manifesto

Making, folklore and community

Beschreibung

This book is a unique view of the traditional art of rag rug making for this age of the Anthropocene. Projects made in the artist's studio and with a community group, highlight a reverence for our lost textiles, a response to the environmental impact of fast fashion and a proof that rag is a rich resource, wrongly classed as a taboo material.

Autor

The author Rachael Matthews is a lecturer in Textiles at Central St Martins, specialising in Knit and colour. Her practice moved into experiments with weaving, after discovering a need to deal with the mounting piles of textiles in her family cupboards and on the streets around her home. This work gained her a placement at The Experimental Weave Lab, hosted by two CSM colleagues, at the Clothworker's Company in the City of London. Sharing a studio with other experimental weavers and learning about many ancient ways of making things, a new world started to appear.
