Studio Jumi: Contemporary Hand Weaving and Textile Art Studio

Studio Jumi is a Berlin-based artist duo and creative studio founded in 2022 by Julia Buntzel and Miriam Rose Gronwald. Operating at the intersection of contemporary art, craft, and design, the studio specializes in the traditional technique of hand weaving, reimagined through a modern artistic lens. Based in a well-equipped studio in Berlin-Wedding, Studio Jumi utilizes looms that are nearly a century old to create large-scale, hand-woven works of art. Their practice is deeply influenced by the philosophies of the Bauhaus weaving workshops and Black Mountain College, seeking to bridge the gap between technical artisan mastery and contemporary visual expression. The work produced by Studio Jumi often challenges the traditional boundaries of textiles by incorporating unconventional materials into the warp and weft. This experimental approach results in innovative pieces that reference both historical constructs and modern aesthetics. Beyond their own artistic production, Julia Buntzel and Miriam Rose Gronwald are dedicated to fostering a community around the craft of weaving. They offer monthly weaving classes ranging from introductory one-day sessions to intensive five-day workshops, designed for participants of all skill levels. Through collaborations with architects, designers, and other visual artists, Studio Jumi integrates textile innovation into diverse creative projects. Their commitment to sustainability, knowledge-sharing, and the preservation of craftsmanship makes Studio Jumi a vital part of the contemporary art scene. By blending historical knowledge with woven research, the duo continues to explore the creative potential of the loom, creating a unique space for innovation in textile art.
