Her interest concerns the\u003cbr\u003eevidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments\u003cbr\u003eand cloth wear down and grow thin. More recently she’s been thinking about how\u003cbr\u003eother people acquire and use the skills and confidence to mend and repair clothing.\u003cbr\u003eHer tools are scissors, yarn and a sharp needle: ‘My kit is lightweight and portable. I\u003cbr\u003ecan travel to you. Nothing is beyond repair. And almost everything can be sorted – or\u003cbr\u003einvented – with needle and thread.’\u003cbr\u003eCelia is an associate lecturer in textiles at the Royal College of Art. This is her\u003cbr\u003esecond book with Quickthorn Press. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Loop Knitting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56223076155769,"sku":"MCE14986H","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9350\/9840\/files\/5SOCKS_CeliaPymNOWgalleryinstall2024-photographerCharlesEmerson-detail.jpg?v=1763657400","url":"https:\/\/loopknitting.com\/en-eu\/products\/celia-pym-sock-salon-event","provider":"Loop Knitting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
