With works that carry a graphic, color-saturated palette using her hand printed fabric, Pat Pauly’s fiber art is seen around the world. Her textile work began in the early 1980s and was first accepted in Quilt National ’83, and has continued being shown in major exhibitions. Her fiber art’s distinction is with using a strong abstraction of natural forms and complex color combinations. Her work is in both private and public collections.
With a degree in art, and graduate work in design and fine art, Pat chose fiber art as the perfect amalgam of construction, painting and printmaking. She has taught throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia, in design and surface design. Her lectures are fast paced, funny, and often speak on the intersection of traditional quilt arts with contemporary fiber art. She brings the same pace and relaxed atmosphere to her workshops.
Often seen in exhibitions, Pat’s work is also widely published, and she has appeared in Quilting Arts televised segments. If not teaching, she is found in her studio in Rochester, New York where she has the best advantage of being surrounded by great artists as well as the beauty of the Finger Lakes.
Workshop: Go Big Go Bold: Prints Galore!
Level: Intermediate / advanced. Basic knowledge of dye mixing and processing is needed for this class.
Materials Fee: $75 payable at class
Join Pat Pauly for this workshop where we print large scale fabric throughout the week. With a myriad of printing techniques using fiber reactive dye on fabric we’ll use large graphics to produce whole cloth works. Silk screen, monoprint, stencil – along with a few more techniques – are used to print large images that can become the finished whole cloth. This class is for those already experienced working with dyes. Print with an eye on the whole design and Go Big, Go Bold.
