Kaffe Fassett, Trip Around the World, 2014

Blanket Statements:  New Quilts by Kaffe Fassett

The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is hosting Blanket Statements: New Quilts by KAFFE FASSETT and Historical Quilts from the Collection of the Quilt Museum and Gallery, York, England. Included in this exhibition—only one of two U.S. museum venues—are fifteen historic quilts from The Quilters' Guild Collection, York, England and twenty quilts produced by Kaffe Fassett that were inspired by the designs of the historic quilts.

"Glorious Color" Lecture by Kaffe Fassett

As part of the exhibition, there will be a lecture given by Kaffe himself, but tickets to "Glorious Color" are going fast.

May 21, Saturday

10 – 12:30pm ($200) or 11 – 12:30pm ($75)

Fassett's inspiration comes from his continual travels and this lecture is designed to empower and inspire the audience to create and develop their own "mind's eye." Audiences leave invigorated - entranced by Kaffe's sense and use of colour. They are ready to try it themselves and are encouraged to do so. Fassett highlights works from his latest projects, including his patchwork quilt, fabric, needlepoint, mosaic, painting and knitting designs. The slide presentation lasts approximately one hour, followed by a question and answer session, and book signing.
