I like to write about textiles, design, and material culture. I like to make things. I see both as part of the same endeavour and think that creative practice and critical discourse should be friends.

Hello!
A friend has just sent me a link to your site and I just wanted to say thankyou! It is so fantastic to read such postive things about our kits - and your photos are absolutley lovely too. I was hoping that you might agree to let me use the words and pics relating to your clothkits experience on our website as a testimonial? Or we could link to your blog. Or both! Let me know if this would be OK. Thanks again, and with the warmest of regards, Kay Mawer, Clothkits.
