Curious, this groundswell of trendy menders and stitchers and such. Still not sure how we fit in, exactly, but worth tracking.

WELCOME

The Small is Beautiful? project aims to investigate the material cultures associated with the making and mending of everyday objects in the South West of England. The research is funded through a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

Three linked objectives frame the project: (1) the documentation of workplaces; (2) the exploration of alternative approaches to visual-material research; and (3) dialogue within communities about everyday aesthetics, cultural value, and social change. This blog acts as a place where relevant material can be shared and discussed between the project coordinators and a wider audience.

We welcome your comments on the project postings. If you know of anywhere that you think would be of interest to the project (see the Long List on this blog), or have any other queries, please get in touch. Thank you.
