I recently had the pleasure of attending a talk by textile artist Kaffe Fassett at Cowslip Workshops in Cornwall.
Kaffe spoke about his lifelong fascination with colour, pattern, travel, and the way inspiration can be found everywhere around us. Looking around the exhibition of quilts and textiles, it was easy to see how fearless use of colour can create such energy and joy.
As a mosaic artist, I often find inspiration beyond my own medium, and I came away full of ideas about colour combinations, pattern, repetition, and the importance of trusting your creative instincts.
A real highlight was having the opportunity to meet Kaffe and his partner Brandon Mably and have a couple of books signed.
Days like this remind me how valuable it is to step away from the studio occasionally and fill the creative well.
Have you ever found inspiration for your work from a completely different art form?
