Paula Vester

For 43 years, Paula has been spinning, weaving, sharing her love for fiber with others, researching and experimenting with yarns, dyes, and techniques. She has organized public exhibits, regional and national conferences, childrens’ summer camps, and taught workshops nationally. Paula presents programs to art, quilting, sewing and knitting groups, schools, and colleges, and demonstrates at the GA Renaissance Festival and the GA National Fair, where she has been the supervisor of the Spinning and Weaving Competition since 1998. Paula works to help fiber artists and the fiber producers come together to support the continuation of fiber production in Georgia and the Southeast. For more than a decade, she has focused on natural dyes and processing kudzu fiber for weaving. She shares her adventures in fiber where ever she can, in person and in print.
