Teaching metalsmithing and jewelry fabrication workshops at quality locations near you.
"As an art teacher myself, I have always appreciated Julie’s teaching ability. In her workshop, she fostered enthusiasm and creativity through her well-planned, comprehensive lessons. Her techniques and teaching practices guided students to continue down their own path with original results, while still following the project at hand. Students were engaged and eager due, in part, to Julie’s contagious excitement for the creative process."
