Kaffe Fassett - 50 years in colour

June 1st, my youngest daughter, a good friend and myself visited Kaffe Fassett's anniversary exhibition at Hadeland Glassverk.

It was a treat indeed - knitting, embroideries, paintings  and quilts - colours, textures and a magnificent exhibition in every way.

If you have the chance, it is open another month, until 16. August.

Some of my favourites:

Embroidered shoes anyone ?

 

 

 

 

When I was in Nantes, France, 2 years ago, I actually watched Kaffe Fassett start this peacock embroidery. It was fun to see it again, not yet finished though.
It is good to see even a great artist has Work In Slow Progress!

We spent the whole day at Hadeland Glassverk - also visiting the shops, seeing glass being made by hand and mouth + visiting the historic glass exhibition.

Contemporary glass art from the 50's - and it is still good :-)
In fact I own one of those green bowls ( the one in the back corner ).

We all agreed - a lovely day was had by all!

Viewer's choice - a gazillion hexagons! Congratulations Berit!




There were many more quilts and my head is still spinning with inspiration. It is not easy to give you the full feeling through my camera lens. I wish you could have been there with us!
