Kaffe Fassett: Timeless Themes – New Quilts and Candace Bahouth: Enchanted Visions will run from 1 July to 1 October 2023.
Regular visitors to the gallery will remember their stunning joint exhibitions Blue and White in 2008 and A Celebration of Flowers in 2018.
This vibrant exhibition will showcase 23 of Kaffe Fassett’s large and colourful new quilts, adorned with motifs from his print archives, including stripes, circles, dots, flowers and foliage. The show ties in with his forthcoming book, Kaffe Fassett’s Timeless Themes that will be on sale in the Gallery shop.
Displayed alongside this, Candace Bahouth’s work will include a range of extravagantly embellished mirrors filling the back wall of the gallery, along with fanciful candelabras adorned with birds and romantic figures. All of Candace's works will be for sale.
The gallery will be repainted in a bespoke range of bright colours chosen by the artists, providing a perfect setting for the striking pieces on display.
Kaffe Fassett will also give two guided tours of the exhibition, on Saturday 1 July at 12-1pm and 2-3pm. There are only 20 places available on each tour and tickets are expected to sell out quickly! Book your exhibition tour tickets here.
Save the date for 3 September where Kaffe Fassett will be giving a talk and holding a book signing at the Guildhall Bath. Tickets will be available to buy from the website soon.
