Block Printing on Fabric

October 15, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm PDT

Explore the art of linoleum cutting with SCRAP and make a simple linocut stamp to block-print on patches or clothing.

This workshop is for thrifty creators, ages 11 and up! Youth under 16 should come accompanied by an adult.

This 2-hour workshop will be dedicated to the practices of mending and upcycling our own clothes not only to extend the life of our wearable resources and keep textiles out of the landfill, but also to explore our fashion creativity and personal style!

Students will learn the art of linoleum cutting and make a simple linocut stamp to block-print on a patch of fabric or an article of clothing. Patching materials provided, but we encourage you to bring articles of clothing or textiles to decorate (or just print over some stains)!

This workshop series is for people who care about the environment, who want to expand their sewing skills, and who find comfort in a crafty community! ✨

This program is supported by funds from the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Are you a teacher, a student attending a Title I middle or high school or equivalent program, or a parent of such a student? Then you can get in FREE to this workshop!

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
