  • About Me

    Hello, my name is Kate Cassels and I am a fiber artist / designer living in Rochester, New York.

    My eclectic body of work is rooted in craft and simple design. This collection is the result of being raised by a goldsmith and an art teacher. They come from my adoration of great modernists like Agnes Martin, and of my grandmothers handmade pop-up cards. They are a culmination of my love for sewing and my unreasonable longing to touch everything I have ever seen in a museum.

    I studied Fibers at Savannah College of Art & Design. I'm originally from Ocean City, Maryland.
