What is it about Homo faber man the maker thatcannot resist fixing what is broken?As we start to decouple from the linear take-make-waste model that has dominated Western economiessince the Industrial Revolution and seek something morecircular, an enquiry into what mending means has neverbeen more urgent.With a foreword by The Repair Shop's Jay Blades,this new book by craft and circularity advocate KatieTreggiden celebrates 25 artists, curators, designers andmakers who have rejected the allure of the fast, disposableand easy in favour of the patina of use, the stories of ageand the longevity of care and repair. Accompanying theseprofiles, six in-depth essays explore the societal, culturaland environmental roles of mending in a throwaway world.
