LISTSERV 16.5 - ARLIS-L Archives

Then there’s Japanese gold mending—Kintsugi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi, which is a traditional art form.

Lee Mingwei's mending project at the Gardner Museum a few years ago may not be what you're thinking of but it may be of interest.

Hi Marcie,

The RISD Museum's "Repair & Design Futures" exhibition from 2018-2019 might have some useful examples for the author you're working with, and I'd encourage her to contact the museum's Textiles Curator, Kate Irvin, who's co-edited volume, Repair: Sustainable Design Futures, is coming out this fall from Routledge.

Cheers to all,

Margot

Hello all,

I’m writing on behalf a textile author who is looking for darning/mending samples from around the world. Cornell has some examples in our Home Economics collections but I’m wondering what other repositories might also have samples - and from what countries/time periods?

She is mainly looking for physical samples.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
