Work Shirts: Reworked

October 6-October 28

Work Shirts: Reworked is an artistic collaboration, revaluing thrifted materials, and altering textiles through printing and sewing.

Charlotte Flory and Michelle Freedman present Work Shirts: Reworked, their first Reprint Project. WSR examines identity, transformation and revaluation of utilitarian work shirts worn to conform to standards of dress in modern office culture. On display are patchwork objects that Charlotte and Michelle created from disassembling, over-printing, and sewing the textiles they removed from thrifted garments. By merging their passion for pattern (Charlotte) and quilting (Michelle), they ask the viewer to participate in a conversation about decorative arts, consumerism, and gender.

The opening is October 6th from 4:00pm-6:00pm and the show can be viewed Wednesdays-Saturdays from 11:00am-4:00pm.

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.
