Kaffe and his partner Brandon have come to the seacoast area to teach and give lecture/slide shows. Usually they are hosted in the autumn by Gretchen at Portsmouth Fabric and the classes are held at the Connie Beane Communty Center.
Kaffe has been my hero for about 10 years or more. I am continually inspired by his use of color and simple designs.
I may own all of his books.
One can never have too many inspirational books.
The photo above is from one of the design walls during the 2005 class.
These two photos are during the "crit" at the end of the day when Kaffe offers constructive criticism to the day's work on the design wall.
His classes are no-sewing formats; his students cut and work on a design wall.Fabric pieces are pinned into place and rolled into the flannel for transporting home.
Kaffe has lived in England for quite a few years moving there from California.
He designs in a range of fiber work from knitting to needlepoint to quilting; and also in mosaics.
From this trip to New Hampshire, he was going to Japan to teach and lecture.

Thanks for your comment. The class must have been inspirational; his use of colour is amazing.
Your blog is nicely set out. Look at Blogger Help or one of the other help groups to work on the template. Usually the suggestions sound really easy, but you just have to understand that it won't be and keep on trying.
