She was lovely to take us on a tour of her studio and showed us many examples of how we can use natural products to create such exquisite baskets, bags etc. Julia made a delicious food spread, we were very impressed by the effort she went to for her workshop with us. This class was definitely worth it, we are already planning our next trip. Thank you Julia for sharing your love and passion for weaving with us. Looking forward to weaving with you soon.
