New Traditions-Quilling and Felting

October 1-October 31

This exhibit will explore Xander Griffith’s art which combines the art of quilling and felting.

Xander Griffith’s work combines two old traditions, the art of quilling and felt. The technique of quilling dates as far back as ancient Egypt and felt is a textile that has been used for hundreds of years in various ways. This exhibit will explore both these traditions but in a more contemporary and abstract way by exploring taking animals from several different mythologies, mainly Native American stories, and updating them with their unique contemporary felt techniques.

THE VIEWING HOURS ARE
Monday – Thursday 11am-7pm
Friday – Saturday 11am – 8pm
Sunday 11am – 6pm

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.
