ABOUT: Textile designer Pat Albeck was born in Hull, a suburb of England. Judith Patricia Albeck was the youngest of the four daughters of Polish-Jewish emigrés Max and Sarah Albeck. The couple had arrived in Britain in 1910 from a village near Warsaw where Max’s father had been the local rabbi. Patricia, who died at age 87, was once labelled “queen of the tea towel”, and her talent saw her design ceramics, wallpaper, tableware, children’s book and a range of merchandise — including those tea towels — for the National Trust. Behind her huge, funky glasses and winsome smile was a woman who represented the epitome of the English craft world in a way that was both innocent and refreshing. Albeck worked literally until the end of her life. She sat on design committees and was an examiner for many art schools. Her archives are in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Patricia died in 2017.
