I’m Barbara Ast, the artist behind  Aggadah Art's designs. My studio is located in St. Louis, Missouri, but my designs can be found all over the world.

In Jewish tradition, the art of storytelling is known as Aggadah. Literally, “Aggadah” means narrative, from the root word, “l'hagid”, to tell.  Aggadah Art designs custom embroidered Judaica that tells your story.  Bringing contemporary design techniques to an age-old tradition, Aggadah Art creates elegantly embroidered textiles for the modern Jewish home and synagogue. Each piece is specially handcrafted to reflect your unique story and personal style.  It is my hope that your custom piece will enrich your personal and religious lifecycle events for many years to come.
