Kaffe Fassett's Mosaic

mosaic-1.jpg

Mosaic is a medium... ...that can utilize so much that is undervalued or thrown away in our society. The wonderful patterns created by repetition of rubbish-tip items reminds us of elegant ethnic decoration. A simple spoon, key or cup handle repeated acquires a magic, hypnotic musical rhythm. Once people start to play in this simple way, they spot opportunities everywhere. I hope this book can help to free the inner artist in you so you can find joy in expression. - Kaffe Fassett

Kaffe Fassett's Knitting

knitting-1.jpg

My own story in the knitting world is a graphic example of 'ignorance is bliss'. Having spent most of my life, until the age of 28, as a painter of still life and portraits, I had no experience of needlework. Often I would find myself drooling over some richly woven or embroidered cloth in a still life and wonder how on earth it was made.Now at that time, in the early sixties, there was a taboo against 'serious' artists dabbling in the crafts.
