Selvedge was launched in 2004 to celebrate our cerebral and sensual addiction to cloth while promoting skillfully made and carefully considered textiles. I fall more and more in lo ve with textiles in every issue, enamoured by the stories and lives of the talented makers we feature. These stories, told through the pages of the magazine, acknowledge the significance of textiles as a part of everyone’s story. I believe that the most interesting and evocative textile stories deserve to be shown in the best possible light and aspire to create an aesthetically beautiful experience. As a continuation of the conversations that start in the pages of the magazine, Selvedge produces a podcast, newsletter, blog and inspirational Instagram feed - featuring artisans, adventures and opinions. These avenues are a meeting point for our community and an entry point into the world of textiles for those looking for an original and broadening perspective. The Selvedge World Fair, a celebration of cloth, culture and creativity, provides the opportunity for one hundred master artisans from eighty-five countries to tell their stories, share their cultural heritage and demonstrate sustainability at its very best. Our tours, socials and workshops extend the opportunity to share knowledge and develop skills. In the pages of Selvedge, it has been my privilege to present textiles differently and, in that difference—so much a part of the magazine's aesthetics —to find beauty. -Polly Leonard Show more
