GLEAN Panel

October 14, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm PDT

A panel discussion with four previous GLEAN artist participants centered around reuse and repair.

Join PSU’s School of Art + Design for a panel discussion between previous GLEAN artists facilitated by Leslie Vigent. The panel includes:

Lauren Prado: Prado, a Glean artist in 2019, uses fiber, yarn, and needles to create representations of the digital images and products that flood our online feeds. She recently received an MFA in Visual Studies from the Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Caroline Hazel Drake: a Glean artist in 2018, Drake is a third generation Oregonian from a long line of craftswomen. They are a mostly self-taught artist whose aesthetic is grounded in the colors and textures of the Pacific Northwest. (@carolynhazeldrake)

Brenda Mallory: a Glean artist in 2015, Mallory is an eco-conscious recycler and composter who often works with found materials. Using cloth scraps from commercially sewn products, her mixed media work is often made from duplicating forms and repetitive processes, transforming materials that have been deemed worthless into thought-provoking and beautiful pieces.

Vanessa Calvert: a Glean artist in 2019, Calvert addresses subjects including domesticity, consumption, and identity. She is a mixed-media sculptor and installation artist living and working in Portland.

A link to register for this panel will be made available by October 1st.

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.
