Carole Smollan combines her patternmaking and design experience with her love of Hiddur Mitzvah and Judaica to create contemporary artworks. Working out of studios in London and Portugal, Smollan has created a series of richly dressed miniature Torah mantles from textile remnants of the many wedding canopies the artist created for bridal couples all over the world in silk, velvet, and viscose using dye, shibori, paint, and stitching.
