Rosalind Wyatt on BBC Radio 4 Midweek

Rosalind Wyatt, she of the haunting, evocative garments with fragments of old love letters, sent a note saying that she'll be on the BBC 4 Radio program Midweek tomorrow, July 22. I don't know the exact time that it will be broadcast live, but it looks as if programs are archived on the Web site for at least a week. I'll check back and try to post an exact link when it's up. These are her pieces, from the U.K. Guardian-- I've shown at least one of these before, but I don't think anyone will mind seeing them again.

10 Qualities of Slow Cloth, by Elaine Lipson

I defined Slow Cloth several years ago on this blog. Read the original post at http://lainie.typepad.com/redthread/2008/01/this-must-be-th-1.html. (Copyright Elaine Lipson 2007-2011; all rights reserved).
Joy
Slow Cloth has the possibility of joy in the process. In other words, the journey matters as much as the destination.
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.
