Our next meeting will be a field trip to the Textile Hive, on Wednesday, May 15, at 10 AM. The Textile Hive is located at 133 SW 2Nd Ave, Suite 430, Portland, 97204. There is no sign, just the address over a glass door with a brick arch. It’s on the west side of 2nd, their maybe street parking, but there are a couple of pay lots nearby. The tour should last approximately 1 1/2 hours and a $5.00 fee will be collected from each member. We encourage you to carpool and allow plenty of time to get there; MAX tracks are nearby. The Hive is a collection of over 40,000 textiles, spanning 50 countries. Many designers use the collection for inspiration for apparel, footwear, wallpaper and upholstery. The creator, Andrea Aranow stated, “ I’ve always enjoyed textiles. I am entranced by their colors and patterns, love their touch and plasticity. The stories of these fabrics make them even richer.”
