Rachel Rosenkrantz is a luthier based in Providence, Rhode Island.

 Born and raised in France, Rachel studied Design in Paris where she was exposed to both fine arts and applied arts. 

 Her understanding of construction through her industrial design years as well as her understanding of music as a performer are two strong assets forming a stable backbone to her art-making today.

​

Some of her work has shown at the Hangaram museum of modern art, Seoul Korea, and in group shows at the Carousel du Louvres and the Palais de Tokyo, Paris France .

Rachel is faculty at Rhode Island School of Design at the Experimental and Foundation Studies Division.​ She gives lectures, runs panel discussions, and workshops in other establishments such as Harvard Graduate School of Design, La Sorbonne, Brown University, Smith College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Parsons New School, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

​

Rachel works her lutherie by exploring the combination of both traditional and new styles and techniques and tries to bring a unique perspective to her work with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation.

When not at her workbench or classroom, Rachel is beekeeping and performing music.
