As a 'thank you' for all your good wishes, I'm sharing one of my favorite contemporary artists with you today. Kaffe Fassett (1937 - ) is a prolific, incredibly talented, American artist primarily known for his festive fabric, quilting, knitting and needlepoint designs. This chair is a work of art in itself. But if I had to choose, I'd say it is his paintings I love most, though that chair covered in his needlepoint design does take my breath away. Gorgeous Kaffe Fassett fabric design. Only one of many books devoted to Fassett's designs. To learn more about Kaffe Fassett's life and work, please use this link to his website. I've culled these examples of Kaffe Fassett's work from various online sources for our educational enlightenment.

The very first photo in Knitting With the Color Guys takes me back to when I was learning to spin and knit. In the late 1980s, Glorious Knitting revolutionized the way knitters approached design and color. In the new photo, Kaffe has a project in progress draped over his knees with a basket on the floor overflowing with a variety of yarns. It makes me smile!

KAFFE FASSETT staat voor kleur en vormen, in STOFFEN, QUILTS, BREIWERK, BORDUURWERK, KLEDEN, SCHILDERIJEN en MOZAÏEK. Hij werd geboren in 1937 in San Francisco, daar groeide hij ook op. Kaffe schilderde en zou een studie gaan volgen aan de kunstacademie in Boston, maar dat was van korte duur. Lessen volgen was niets voor hem, hij ging thuis schilderen. In 1964 vertrok hij naar Engeland om daar te gaan schilderen. Hij ging in Londen wonen. Tijdens een bezoek aan een wolmolen in Schotland kocht hij verschillende bollen wol. In de trein terug naar Londen vroeg hij aan een vrouw hem te leren breien. Zijn eerste trui breide hij in 20 kleuren en werd afgebeeld in de Vogue Knitting. Dat was het begin van zijn carrière. In 1988 had hij een tentoonstelling in het V & A Museum in Londen. Kaffe Fassett ontwerpt breipatronen voor ROWAN YARNS, Borduurpakketten voor EHRMAN TAPESTRY. Zijn werk is vastgelegd in vele BOEKEN. Dit jaar presenteerde hij het boek Dreaming in Color an Autobiography. Op 22 november bezoekt hij THE ABC TREEHOUSE in Amsterdam. HIER kun je het boek doorbladeren. Zijn kleurrijke huis in Londen.
