Rachel Hadari is a ceramic artist based in Brookline, Massachusetts, with over 30 years’ career in fashion design,  education  and c uration. She studied fashion design at Shenkar College and Cultural Studies at Tel Aviv University. As Deputy Head of the Fashion Design Department at Shenkar, she led groundbreaking projects blending fashion, art, and technology, curating exhibitions at the Israel Museum, Berlin, Bunka Tokyo, and Vietnam.

Rachel’s journey as a ceramic sculptor began in 2018 after moving to Boston, where she first began training in her own studio alongside time at Harvard’s Ceramics Program and a residency in Tuscany, Italy.

​

Now working primarily in hand-built clay, Rachel’s sculptures embody themes of belonging, protection, and resilience. They do not stand alone; they press close, leaning into one another, forming architectures of support and connection. Her work is raw, reflecting the tension between loss and continuity, yet inside each form, there is warmth, a quiet glow of resilience that explores themes of belonging, and the unseen threads that bind us, even across distance.
