Kaffe Fassett Knitwear Exhibition at the National Wool Museum - Amgueddfa Wlan Cymru

March 8th - November 2nd 2013

Running alongside the exhibition of Kaffe Fassett's quilts at The Welsh Quilt Centre in Lampeter will be an exhibition of his knitwear at the nearby National Wool Museum in Drefach Felindre near Newcastle Emlyn. This is an unmissable opportunity to see two aspects of his work in the glorious setting of West Wales. The National Wool Museum, part of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales, is housed in the former Cambrian Mills, an industrial woollen mill in the Teifi Valley, which was once the centre of a thriving woollen industry. Today, the Museum, which has free entry, celebrates the story of wool, from fleece to fabric, with working machinery, tours, and a variety of both permanent and temporary exhibitions and displays. It is therefore with great pleasure that the Museum hosts this exhibition of Kaffe Fassett's bold and beautiful knitwear designs.

Kaffe's 'Glorious Colour' lecture will highlight pieces from his latest works from patchwork quilts, fabrics, mosaics to knitting designs and cover some of the 24 quilt shot cotton projects in Shots and Stripes. His thoughtful and intricate creations take in far-flung influences as as Pakistani kanthas, suzanis from the Caucasus and Amish quilts.
