Business Details

Artist: Potter, harekeke weaver, tutor

Julie trained as a nurse and naturopath but has worked as an artist for the past 30 years. She works alongside Gary Nevin and has had an incredible experience of establishing a lifestyle that truly expresses ""who we are"". They live at Whenuakite, in our Earth Home, and share an entrance with Alan Rhodes Pottery.

Julie and Gary may be most famous as sculptural ""potters” but have both diversified over the years.

Julie continues to make clay art, including a wide selection of birds.

She has a heartfelt relationship with Te Ao Māori, and it reflects naturally in her way of living. About 7 years ago, she started an amazing journey with harakeke. She was privileged to work along other weavers, and also explored on her own, and continues to extensively research. She has completed 5 errands with Te Waananga and Aotearoa, including a Diploma in Adult Education. 

Julie is also offering flax weaving workshops / classes 2-3 times to and tailoring them to the needs of the students (tauira).

Half day or full day experience available, no previous experience is required. Harakeke provided. Class size 3-6.
