Julia occasionally teaches workshops on her techniques and designs—lively, hands-on sessions designed to inspire and spark creativity. More than just learning new skills, participants are encouraged to make the techniques their own, experiment freely, and enjoy the process. She teaches at yarn shops and fiber festivals in German, Dutch, and English.
