This past Sunday, we gathered for an incredible hands-on workshop led by guest artist Rachel Brunhild! 🌿✨

Rachel is a Michigan-based fiber artist, painter, and educator whose work explores meditation, mindfulness, and the interplay of texture, composition, and color. Together, we brought this ancient global craft into modern Jewish tradition to practice hiddur mitzvah—beautifying the commandment—by creating unique, heirloom-quality Challah covers for our Shabbat tables. 🍞💙

Using Shibori, the Japanese art of resist-dyeing, everyone stitched, folded, bound, twisted, and clamped fabric to unlock breathtaking patterns. The best part? Dipping our textiles into an organic indigo vat and watching the magic of oxidation turn the fabric from bright green to brilliant blue right before our eyes! 🎨✨

Take a look at the highlights from Sunday’s class! 🎥👇

Created by Detroit-based artist, designer, and educator Jeremy Noonan, this installation features three large-scale fabric hangings... blending digital prints on rich velour and jacquard-woven fabric alongside a series of custom-printed porcelain bowls.

Jeremy has an extensive background collaborating with leading commercial manufacturers, he constantly explores how pattern, color, and surface materials intersect. Straddling the line between fine art and design, his work is rooted in a deep understanding of textiles as a medium for communication.

As Professor and Section Lead of Fiber and Textiles at the College for Creative Studies, Jeremy brings this boundary-pushing vision to both his studio practice and the next generation of designers.

FIBER ON THE EDGE exhibit ends Tuesday, September 2. Stop by the gallery to see the work up close! 🧵🥣
