Art to inspire sewing and textiles: 1.Kaffe Fassett.

Artist Kaffe Fassett uses all sorts of mediums to work with: needlepoint, mosiac, patchwork, knitting, painting, rugs and creating fabric designs.
His work is very colourful and often full of pattern he has be quoted as saying 'be afraid of colour'.

Kaffe Fassett has a vast array of work which is very colourful and varied I particularly love his flowers in all mediums.
Christina was recommended this artist by her godfather and we will be researching many other artists and textile artists to inspire sewing lesson projects and put together ideas from all different artists to allow Christina to be inspired to come up with her own unique textiles works.
Kaffe Fassetts website has more examples of his work and his biolography:
The next artist we will be looking at is claire muir...
