ABOUT LEE

LEE ANDERSEN has fused her love of complex color and texture with an educated informed creativity and a passion for art.  She has created a uniquely rich and complex form of functional beauty.  She works with every type of fiber from rough hessian to delicate metallic high tech plastic, including  both natural and man-made fibers, delicate silk sheers, furry knits, berber fleece, delicate metallic embroidery.  Every aspect of the clothing is considered important to the whole concept, right down to the buttons which are hand made ceramic, real fossils, naturally formed semi precious stones, enameled, hand formed metals and hand worked wood.

 Her perspective was developed by art training in drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics and photography, combined with history and philosophy.

 She has taught over 1000 workshops on colour, knitwear design and creativity including classes at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.  She has written six books on those subjects, the first of which is YOU KNIT,UNIQUE.

 She Lee met her husband Al on a train between New York and Washington while on a book tour in the U.S. in 1986.  It was powerful attraction. She left her wonderful family and friends, and her successful business and changed countries for ‘love’.  Fortunately it was the right decision!  She began a loving, fun marriage, and started clocking up a lot of travel miles.  With the help of fellow knitter and new friend Joan Becker, she began building a new business, ANDERSEN-BECKER, INC.
