Broken: Mending and repair in a throwaway world

Treggiden profiles twenty-five makers who choose mending, patina and care over the fast and disposable, with essays on what repair means culturally and environmentally. A quietly radical read on the SDF's Sustainability motto — repair as a relationship with materials, not a last resort. With a foreword by The Repair Shop's Jay Blades, the book profiles twenty-five artists, curators, designers and makers who have chosen the patina of use and the practice of repair over the fast and disposable, alongside six essays on the cultural and environmental role of mending. Treggiden frames repair not as nostalgia but as a political and cultural act, illustrated with more than 200 images.
