Published to accompany 'The Journey: Exploring the Nature of Mending', which is a contemporary craft project that explores layers of meaning, cultural and emotional, that are evoked by mending, repair, and re-use.

The core of the project is the commissioning of new work from five contemporary makers who are highlighting, celebrating, and interpreting the mending to be found in museum collections. This work was exhibited at Walford Mill Crafts, Wimborne, Dorset, from 14 September - 27 October 2013. The five artists include: Jenni Dutton, Lisa Earley, Guy Martin, Paul Scott, and Jacy Wall.
