The Roving Animation Sewing Circle

October 5-October 31

Take part in the creation of an evolving fabric animation throughout PTXM!

Throughout Portland TextileX Month, collaborative fabric animator Charlie Wilcox will be rolling out a one of a kind “Fabric Film Strip,” a novel neo-Luddite animation technology that allows participants to add to a continually evolving animation through embroidering, painting, dyeing, quilting, cutting, mangling, and otherwise creatively augmenting a 30 foot loop of textile film, which Charlie will then turn into a stop-motion animation. Keep an eye out for the fabric film strip throughout the festival and follow along on instagram at @charliecwilcox to see where it will be and how the animation is developing! In participating, you can learn about the basics of the niche practice of fabric animation, take part in some skill sharing in both fabric and animation arts, and meet and collaborate with other amazing makers, all while creating a shared vision for the future of decentralized creative expression!

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.
