Tide Pool Cabriolet

October 1-October 31

Early 1900’s Belgian chair is given a new life.

This functional art piece is a collaboration between fiber artist Felicia Murray and fine upholsterer Anne Williams of ADF Upholstery. Through Anne’s use of vintage materials, and Felicia’s experimentation with felting and natural dyes, they were able to generate unique preservation and a transformation of a traditional Belgian Cabriolet chair from the early 1900s. The chair takes on a new life as felted corals emerge from the back of the chair, dyed with seaweed from the Oregon coast and local foraged plant life.

Meet the artists Saturday, October 16th from 2 to 6 pm at Day in The Life Gallery. Also, meet and see the amazing weaving of Francisco and Laura Bautista.

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.
