Pym Celia (58 results)

Paperback. Condition: New. The artist Celia Pym lives in London and has been exploring damage and repair in textiles since 2007. Working with garments that belong to individuals as well as items in museum archives, she has broad experience with stories of damage, from moth holes to accidents with fire. Textile language crops up in the body: mending language works on the body as well as on garments. We describe the body as mending after illness or injury - 'I'm on the mend,' someone might say if they're feeling better. You might hear a doctor or nurse describe a broken bone as 'mending well', or broken bones are often described as knitting back together as the break heals. Pym is interested in exploring the varied evidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments and cloth wear down and grow thin. These personal tales document the intimate damage caused to clothing by everyday use and the parallels with the consequent wear and tear on the body.Mending work builds on what is left behind. It's not replacing, or remaking, or cutting apart and putting back together, instead it is slow work that makes things better. It conjures an unhurried recovery or change. In textiles, the act of mending wear-and-tear, thinning cloth or accidental damage builds on what already exists, anchoring threads and yarn into the robust healthy fabric and filling in the holes or reinforcing the areas that are weak.'Darning is small acts of care,' she says, 'and paying close attention.'.

A fascinating insight into the work of a pre-eminent craftsperson, On Mending was inspired by Anni Albers seminal work, On Weaving, (1965). Not a how-to book, this is rather an in-depth look into the damage that we do, as manifested by our outer layers, our clothes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Celia Pym is an artist darner and her new book, SOCKS imaginative mending, is based on the exhibition commissioned by NOW Gallery, Greenwich Socks: The Art of Care and Repair.SOCKS celebrates the everyday act of mending socks through darning. Central to the book is a vibrant, colourful library of 488 socks, each stitched and darned by the Surrey Square Primary School community in Southwark using industry warehouse waste socks. Children, staff and families of the school, learnt and practised their darning and stitching skills on socks, during a series of 26 workshops facilitated by Pym in early 2024. The progression of the work from nursery to year 6 aged children to the headteacher, beautifully demonstrates the dexterity and creativity of the children and how that changes over time, highlighting the importance of practical education for cognitive development.SOCKS also includes Pyms own work mending socks for friends and family. Celia is a prominent artist and teacher, exhibiting and teaching internationally and her London workshops sell out within minutes. Her previous book On Mending: Stories of damage and repair is one of our best sellers. Published 2 February 2026, available to preorder, delivery in November.
