Sloppy Craft is edited with precision and wit. It is an important, of the moment, contribution to craft writing. It crosses boundaries of practice with elegance and rigour, defining Sloppy Craft in ways that are appealing as well as polemical. There is writing of the first order from some of the most significant authors in the field. -- Simon Olding Director, Crafts Study Centre, UK Elaine Cheasley Paterson and Susan Surette have brought together diverse, uniformly thoughtful writings making the case that the concept of Sloppy Craft is not a contradictory one. Much as the artists in this book explore art practices that simultaneously challenge and reassert traditions of art-making disciplines, so do its authors illuminate how sloppy craft similarly challenges and reasserts traditions of skill. Sloppy Craft is an exciting, necessary new addition to the growing discourse on craft and contemporary art. -- Maria Elena Buszek, the University of Colorado Denver, USA Sloppy Craft's collection of essays is a welcome addition to a relatively small canon of craft theory in the twenty-first century. It offers a broad array of perspectives to consider, and these always within historical contexts. * International Journal of Education Through Art *
