Fashion designer, born in San Francisco, California, USA. He studied painting at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston before migrating to England in 1964. Discovering the potential of hand knitting and needlepoint, he formed a design company producing knitting kits for Rowan, needlepoint for Ehrman, and fabrics for the Designers Guild. His television broadcasts and books, such as Glorious Interiors (1995), have made his colourful designs popular in Europe and the USA.
Kaffe Fassett (b 1937 in San Francisco, California) is an American artist who is best known for his colourful designs in the decorative arts -- needlepoint, patchwork, knitting, and ceramics.
Fassett received a scholarship to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston at the age of 19, but shortly left school to paint in London and moved there in 1964.
A prolific author of over a dozen books, Fassett concentrates on teaching the color and design stages of craftwork rather than the construction stage.
