Take a Class With Me!

 My art classes are fun, fast-paced, intensive learning experiences.  I hope you'll join me.
As an instructor, ​I take an intellectual and self-analytical approach to art making, empowering my students and clients to create their own unique work.  You won’t copy what I do. You’ll learn how to analyze WHY and HOW, so that you can get the results you want long after class is over.

Student Feedback

"​I just took an AMAZING in-person class with Julie. She designed the projects so we would not only have guidance and direction, but also have freedom to explore what interested us. it was so much fun, and left me with so so so many ideas to chase. Thank you so much, Julie!" -- Florence
"Julie paces the class so new techniques are broken down into achievable parts. The classes are filled with techniques so your end product is unique rather than a cookie cutter copy. Your individual style shines through.I like how she has students gather together at the end to share our work."  -- Nancy
"Just took a class with Julie this past weekend and it was awesome. She is real and her classes build from easy techniques into the more difficult. I highly recommend taking a class with her!" -- Jay
"Hi Julie, I was in your class yesterday at Sewing Machines Plus in San Diego.  I drove about 95 miles to take the class because I have been following you for the last few years and wanted to learn from you directly!  I wasn’t disappointed!  I’ve owned two ScanNCut machines and have loved them so much!  I still learned new stuff from your class!  It was really fun and I enjoyed it!  Thank you for traveling out our way to do this class!" -- Karen
"Julie is a fantastic teacher! She's very patient and encouraging. Even for those of us that take a while to 'get it'!" -- Mardi Joy
