Julia is a Seattle-based artist who uses wood to create jewelry and small sculpture.  Traveling and living out of a bag for many years led her to develop a toolkit and range of techniques that can turn any small space into a productive studio.  Her work has appeared in galleries and museums across the country and in Europe, and she has taught widely at venues including Pratt in Seattle, the 92nd St Y in New York, and the Penland School of Craft in North Carolina.  Her Feast classes focus on building woodcarving skills through the creation of everyday objects that are a pleasure to use.
