Reviews…

I’ve done a Dark and Moody Still Life Workshop with Julie and it was awesome. Small sized group and excellent props and advice. I was a bit nervous about attending, but Julie is welcoming and very professional. I Learnt so much, cannot wait until I can do another class. Highly recommend it.
