A course by Julie Robert
Julie Robert discovered embroidery thanks to her grandmother who taught her some invaluable sewing secrets. After a trip to Iceland that really left its mark, she created a collection of textile wall pieces that she sold to a store in Seattle leading to her work gradually becoming recognized.
Julie has an impressive background in the creation of textile art and is currently an ambassador for punch needling in France, and one of her books about this technique titled Punch Needle has been translated into various languages. For her, knitting is a form of relaxation. Her goal is to make textile art accessible for everyone and she does this by sharing her knowledge with the same sweetness that characterizes her work.
