Join Antje Rook at The George Pub, Portland.
This is your chance to be part of Portland history in the making, you’ll make a textile piece of art that will eventually embellish The Portland Dress on display at the BIG b-side weekend in Sept 2025.
What’s The Portland Dress?
Did you see The Red Dress at the b-side festival in 2024?
Thousands experienced this significant international artwork, made by people from around the world. Now, Portland will create a sister dress that shares our stories.
No experience is needed. Antje will guide you in making your part of The Portland Dress, even if you have never picked up a needle and thread before you will be able to make something to be proud of.
100’s of people from Portland have made small textile pieces to date and we woud love to see more men taking part so whilst your’e enjoying a Saturday drink you can also be part of this great project.
