Kate Jenkins learned to crochet as a child. The artist worked for many years as a knitwear designer in the fashion world. But then I became interested in creating vegetables, seafood and favorite dishes from wool.
The artist’s goal is to make people smile when they look at her knitted food.
In 2015, Kate Jenkins presented an installation called Kate’s Place the Stitchmongers at an exhibition in London. The full-size fish counter featured life-size sardines, mussels, clams and other sea life.
Then the artist moved from seafood installations to creating baked goods from wool. This is how the Kate’s Place project – Kate’s Bakes – was born. Her creations include bagels, whole grain breads and fruit tarts. The artist pays attention to detail, skillfully depicting even thinly sliced onions, kiwi seeds and poppy seeds.
The artist posts her “fresh” baked goods, crocheted from wool, on her website.
