Socks : imaginative mendingEntry/Object ID
TT720.P9 2026Description
SOCKS celebrates the everyday act of mending socks through darning. An illustrated account of what happens when you teach a whole primary school how to darn a sock. 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.Context
The book is based on the exhibition commissioned by NOW Gallery (Greenwich): Socks: The Art of Care and Repair.Lexicon
