A few years ago I was involved in the setting up of an exhibition of Kaffe's work at Charleston Farmhouse. It was a tiny event compared to his current show at the American Museum in Bath. It was however very well attended and seemed to have a tremendous impact on all the visitors.
I find his work and use of colour so uplifting and stimulating in a way I have never experienced with any other artist or maker. He really does have a gift for putting colours together and using them in such a creative way.
If like me you are passionate about yarn, textiles, craft, art or/and colour, try and get to this exhibition. It has a long run, thankfully, as it gives us all a good chance of getting there before it is over.
Welcome to my latest Google Friend Connect followers. Sue, Dawn, & CCP. I'm super pleased that more of you lovely bloggers are linking up with me.
I met Kaffe Fasset a few times, I agree a really talented man, his knitting is lovely I have a few books of his from when he was into machine knitting, a real inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome and for the heads up about the Kaffe Fasset exhibition. I have been meaning to go to the American Museum for ages, I love his quilts and have been thinking about making one for myself. So a visit to his exhibition is just what I need to get inspired.
ReplyDeleteKaffe Fassett's appearance on the craft scene exactly coincides with my interesting in making things - he's always been an inspiration to me. I've never met him but know two people who have worked with him. Is it a small world or do you & your followers move in small, colourful circles? (A bit like a Kaffe creation.)
