It is an important, of the moment, contribution to craft writing. It crosses boundaries of practice with elegance and rigour, defining \u003ci\u003eSloppy Craft \u003c\/i\u003ein 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\u003cbr\u003eElaine Cheasley Paterson and Susan Surette have brought together diverse, uniformly thoughtful writings making the case that the concept of \u003ci\u003eSloppy Craft \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.  \u003ci\u003eSloppy Craft \u003c\/i\u003eis an exciting, necessary new addition to the growing discourse on craft and contemporary art. -- Maria Elena Buszek, the University of Colorado Denver, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSloppy Craft\u003c\/i\u003e’s collection of essays is a welcome addition to a relatively small canon of craft theory in the twenty-first century.
