Sukkot Artist in Residence: Mike Wirth

We are excited to welcome Mike Wirth as our Artist-in-Residence over Sukkot from Friday, October 14th through Sunday, October 16th! Mike Wirth will guide us in a variety of hands-on activities like hunting for meaningful ritual artifacts from around the TST building and your own homes, photographing and sharing personal artifacts, creating collages, painting hamsas, and synthesizing all these artistic sacred objects into our own large-scale community “time tapestry” fabric mural.
