Studio JUMI is a Berlin-based artist duo working at the interface of art, craft, and design. Entwining unconventional materials into the strict architecture of warp and weft, the artists Julia Buntzel and Miriam Rose Gronwald transform weaving into contemporary textile art.

Julia Buntzel (DE) began her studies with an apprenticeship in wood carving in southern Germany, near Lake Constance (2006-2012). She continued her studies in stage and film design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (2013-2015) and later graduated with a degree in sculpture at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin in 2021. 

During her studies Julia worked for HAU Berlin, in the costume and stage department, assisting in shows such as Gob Squad and SheShePop. She was also a 2021 recipient of the gopea scholarship for young artists. Her research on color during her studies at the Weißensee Academy awakened an interest in textiles and weaving. In 2021 Julia worked for the product designer and textile artist Hella Jongerius for the exhibition Woven Cosmos at the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin. After graduation, she decided to pursue her interest in textile art and enrolled in the 4-year program at the Werkhof Kukate to become a certified weaver.
