VIRTUAL LECTURES
A pandemic addition to the program offered by Columbia Fiber Arts is continuing. A few times a year, CFG will arrange for speakers to present by Zoom. This offers guild members even more opportunity to explore ideas in fiber arts.
In 2024, there will be one Zoom session in January and one in April.
Attend these meetings from the comfort of your own home — or wherever you might be. They are included with the cost of your membership.

APRIL 2024
Pat Pauly
"Challenge Yourself: Unpredictable Outcomes from Ideas"
April 19, 2024
11:00 am
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.
