Textile Printing: Just Silkscreen with Pat Pauly

3-Day Workshop with Pat Pauly

Friday-Sunday, May 29-31, 2026, 9am – 4pm

Just Silkscreens is just that –Silkscreens! Join me for three days of fun, experiencing silkscreen printing on textiles with stencils, paper barriers, Tyvek shapes, dirty screens, clear screens, and monoprint.  Working in fiber reactive dyes, our prints will leave your work with the same original hand, so that you can use the fabric for apparel or art quilts. We’ll use stencils, paper barriers, Tyvek shapes, dirty screens, clear screens, screening to monoprint and everything in combination. Of course, we’ll add how to lay in backgrounds which will give us a variety of textures. Composition of the piece is discussed for printing fabric with the fabric’s ultimate function in mind — positioning the print for maximum use. Learn all there is (or that we can do in the time we have in class!) about silk screen printing on cloth.

Skills Level: All levels (some experience with dyes helpful but not required, no experience with printing silkscreens required)

Supply Fee Payable Directly to Instructor: $70

Non-Members $460 / Members $450

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.
