Recently, Rynearson began working with beads and creating one-of-a-kind earrings, available for purchase in a few PNW venues. Her inspiration for this collection comes from a practice of quiet reflection and healing around generational trauma in the family of her paternal grandmother.

Britt spent her early career exploring the medium of shibori and specifically Arashi Shibori, a method used to pleat cloth around a pipe or pole with thread. This work is intended to mimic the movements on the surface of the Puget Sound. Using this method, she created silk scarves and blankets that were sold in boutiques and at juried craft shows nationwide.

Her line of coats, tunics and tops featured hand-dyed silk, specialty linens as well as a selection of leather and wool. The clothing line was sold nationwide, at venues including Julie’s: Artisan Gallery and Takashimaya in Manhattan.

Rynearson curated and exhibited in SHARING BLANKETS in 2019
