Rag Manifesto is an artist's view of the traditional craft of rag rug making, written for the age of the Anthropocene. Its projects show reverence for lost textiles, answer the environmental cost of fast fashion, and make the case that rag is a rich resource, wrongly treated as a taboo material.
Rachael Matthews gives readers permission to cut up their old fabric, with a structure for making the decision and a chart for deciding when a garment is ready to be cut. Paperback, 170 x 240 mm.
It suits anyone with a pile of clothes past mending and no idea what to do with them.
