Change of Plans

This blog is going to go on hiatus while I manage a busy life and figure out what this blog wants to be. It may become a Web site with an e-mail newsletter that will go out periodically; I'm not sure yet. If you'd like to receive news and updates, please write me and let me know what interests you most here:

  • Sustainable and organic textiles and clothing
  • The Slow Cloth approach and the world of textile art and craft
  • Personal art projects and links to other textile artists and craftspeople
  • Other. .  please do let me know!

Thanks, and stay well.

  • Contemplation
    Slow Cloth offers the quality of meditation or contemplation in the process.
  • Skill
    Slow Cloth involves skill and has the possibility of mastery.
  • Diversity
    Slow Cloth acknowledges the rich diversity and multicultural history of textile art.
  • Teaching
    Slow Cloth honors its teachers and lineage even in its most contemporary expressions.
  • Materials
    Slow Cloth is thoughtful in its use of materials and respects their source.
  • Quality
    Slow Cloth artists, designers, crafters and artisans want to make things that last and are well-made.
  • Beauty
    It's in the eye of the beholder, yes, but it's in our nature to reach for beauty and create it where we can.
  • Community
    Slow Cloth supports community by sharing knowledge and respecting relationships.
  • Expression
    Slow Cloth is expressive of individuals and/or cultures. The human creative force is reflected and evident in the work.
