Welcome to a beautiful line of hand made tallit. Hillary uses the finest silk products to create her beautiful, original hand painted tallitot. Beginning with various weights and textures of white silk, she uses the serti gutta technique of resists and washes that often resemble brilliant watercolor paintings. Her expressions range from soft quiet clouds to dazzling blasts of fiery sunsets, symbolic imagery to startling realism to dreamy fields of ever-moving color. You'll find an amazing array of tallit styles and designs suitable for any man, woman, girl or boy.

Please email Hillary if you are interested in purchasing a tallit on this page. Any design shown here can be created especially for you if it is no longer in inventory.

Matching Tallit Bags and Kippot (Yarmulkas) can be created upon request.

Would you like to design and/or paint your own tallit? To make your own tallit with Hillary, call or email Hillary - we can do it!

Contact Hillary and let her know what specifics you have.
Ideas are discussed and a design is created.
Hillary will draw out a sketch, as needed, based on the ideas discussed.
Upon your approval of the idea or sketch and price, a 50% deposit will be requested. Hillary then begins the painting process.
The painting process includes cutting and stretching white silk, drawing the design, and using resists and dyes to create the design.
When the painting is complete, the painted silk is steamed, a two-hour process which sets the dyes permanently into the silk fabric.
The piece is then cleaned to remove the resist material and any excess dyes, leaving only the soft colorful painted silk.
The painted silk is hemmed, and patches and atarah (collar piece), if done separately, are sewn on.
Tsitsit are tied in the four corners.

 

You now are the owner of a unique piece of art, an original silk tallit created by Hillary Miller. May you wear it in the best of health!

Please allow at least 8 weeks to create a custom tallit, depending on the current back log. If you need something sooner, please check out the current inventory of tallitot.
