Tiny Pricks Project Workshop

October 4, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 pm PDT

Workshop and call to action to participate in the largest textile protest project addressing this presidency.

Join Diana Weymar, creator and curator of the international textile protest project, “Tiny Pricks Project,” for a hands-on virtual workshop and make your own piece to contribute to the collection. Diana will talk about her process from Trump to completed textile, and answer any and all questions about your own pieces and/or her work. And we might talk about politics too! This is an opportunity to bring the communal aspect of the project to life and share what this presidency—and the protest movement against it—means to you. As the election nears, this is your chance to be part of the material record of this moment in history. Please be ready with a textile and quote(s) to participate!

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.
