Join me on the Studio Boat on the beautiful James River for an immersive 2 day workshop! We will be building intricate porcelain wall-hanging sculptures that celebrate the beauty of detail. Drawing inspiration from the things you love, this class will guide you through the techniques needed to sculpt fine, strong details in porcelain. With its luminous quality when fired, porcelain will be our medium of choice as we focus on enhancing the natural beauty of each piece through minimal glazing. Prepare to create works that invite multiple glances, revealing the magic in every carefully crafted element. All Levels Welcome! Sat, March 28th 10am-4pm and Sun, March 29th 12-4pm $250 per student. Clay and firing included. DM me to sign up! . . #rvastufftodo #ceramics #pottery #clayclasses #clayworkshop porcelain porcelainart contemporarceramics rvaart richmondart rva rvaclay

I don’t share these on social media very often. Last night I was thinking about the future direction of my craft and ways to integrate my experiences with death and grief into service. These are a few custom urns I have made for friends and family members. In consultations we collaborate on the design to create something meaningful that honors the legacy of the Loved One. 💙 Pictured: Urns for Tyler, Moonshine, Dian and Joanie. 💙

New workshop offerings for 2025! Narrative Teapots: Sculpting Stories Through Clay Join me for a weekend workshop dedicated to creating sculptural teapots that defy tradition and tell a story. Using the essential elements of a teapot—handle, spout, lid, and body—we’ll explore how these forms can come together to create narratives that push the boundaries of function. You’ll develop and refine handbuilding skills while diving into the historical context of teapots as both utilitarian objects and works of art. With guidance from an instructor who got their start crafting unconventional teapots, you’ll have the freedom to design your own imaginative piece that blends form, function, and storytelling. Workshop Details: When: Feb 22nd-23rd Saturday (10 a.m.–4 p.m.) and Sunday (12 p.m.–4 p.m.) Where: Julie’s studio at 43rd St. Studios Cost: $250 per student Perfect for ceramicists of all skill levels looking to break tradition and make something truly unique!
