"Traditional Meets Contemporary” A Look at the Heritage of Traditional Quilts and their Influence in Contemporary Design

From her background as a curator of the exhibition “Quilts Uncovered: Treasures from Genesee Country Village and Museum” which considered the legacy of traditional quilts, Pat Pauly gives an expansive look at the long history of quilt making, and its change and rebirth in the twenty-first century. Presenting over 400 images in the span of an hour, she takes a fast-paced look at the craft that has endured in America for nearly 250 years. Hold on to your seats.  

Lecture fees are $300 for a one-hour lecture.    

 

 

“Art Quilts, Schmart Quilts: What’s the Fuss About Original Design?”

Art quilts have taken on a life of their own. Pat Pauly looks at the similarities between the composition of traditional quilts and the avant-garde art pieces that more resemble paintings and prints than their cozy counterparts. In a characteristically passionate and enthralling delivery, she discusses technique, materials, and composition in the new nature of contemporary quilt design, illustrated by over 300 images. 

Lecture fees are $300 for a one-hour lecture.  

 

“Walk on the Wild Side: Finding Your Style in Contemporary Quiltmaking”

This lecture is Pat Pauly’s irreverent look at her own work and career, with its lucky beginnings and twists and turns. After having diverged several times to accept positions in other aspects of the design profession, she came back to full-time contemporary quilting, where she had started in the early 1980s. All is fair game for inspiration and comment as Pat presents more than 400 images in the space of an hour; you will never think of the word “quilt” in the same way again.

Lecture fees are $300 for a one-hour lecture.
