expe-
rienced
some confu-
sion with her last
name. While it might
seem to relate to her work with sil-
ver, the married name came long
before her current artistic focus.
Geller-Metal, based.in New York,
travels back and forth from Italy,
where artisans make her designs by
hand. While she will have samples of
menorahs, seder plates and spice
boxes, every item is made to order
and can have engraving.
"I try to combine the best of con-
temporary design with ritual use,
and I tend to avoid iconography,"
says Geller-Metal, now working on a
Torah crown for a specific commis-
sion."My idea is to make heirlooms
that can be passed down to the next
generation?'
Geller-Metal learned about work-
ing with silver by taking a class at
the Jewish Museum. She had a bach-
elor's degree in art from Queens
College long before she earned a
master's degree in industrial design
from the Pratt Institute.
"I've always done Judaica, but in
different forms," the New Yorker
says. "I started out with Hebrew cal-
ligraphy, and I've done tallit and
tefillin bags made with materials
commonly used in men's suits." -
Leah Sosewitz, an Illinois artist,
also works with fabric, but she has
developed a style similar to what she
does with paper, which she can cut

.....44,

in
special
. ways for
ketubah or
book projects. Often
her work on tallit and chuppahs are
done with Marsha Kasanov ; another
Illinois artist who will be at the fair.
"I like intricate, lacy patterns done
in layers:' says Sosewitz, who gradu-
ated from the Art Institute of
Chicago. "I paint the papers by hand,
and I have used images of moun-
tains and Stones."
Although Sosewitz has never been
at an art fair in Michigan, she has
had clients in the area. They have
seen samples of her work on her- -
Web site, www.judaicartstudio.com .
"What makes this fair truly
unique is that only works with
Judaic themes are offered:' Lipnik
says. "I'm pleased that we have
almost 200 volunteers helping with
the fair and that many families are
opening their homes to the Israeli
artists?'
