About the Author: Julie
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist. There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it. It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am. “In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it. Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”

🧐 Curious 🎨 Creative 💪🏻 Living Boldly! @idoamazingthings 😁 Content with wool in my hands Artisan weaver of blankets and wraps. Pop to my website
  • When does a creative piece start? Some people think that my weaving starts when I gather my wool. No no no!

My weaving starts wayyyyy before then! 

My handwoven blankets are rooted deeply in my experiences, journeys and roadtrips all around the world. 

I weave these luxury blankets slowly with intention. They are made to become a part of others’ lives. They are made to bring warmth and comfort. They are the perfect gift for yourself or another, to let them know that you truly care about them.

  • Kolkata adventures to the Mullik Ghat markets are the inspiration for my current series of blankets.

Where have you visited that would return to or inspire you to create artwork from? 

You can read all about my fabulous time in Kolkata and a sneak peek into my studio in my latest E-Zine. Link in Bio.

  • My treasures; gifted and gathered from across the world accompany me as I weave.

  • Memories of my experiences of  journeys across the world come to life again in my studio. 

My current series is founded on our wonderful time in Kolkata. 

I loved Kolkata. The sounds. The colour. The warmth from others. 

Here in my studio, nothing is rushed. Each piece is woven carefully with intention. 

Each piece is unique. The rhythm of my hands and steps; the behaviour of the yarn; the decisions made in the moment rather than imposed in advance. As an artist, little is planned in my weaving. 

Come and read my journal notes from Kolkata and have a peek side my studio. My E-Zine is now available. Link in Bio.

  • Reveal time! The city of inspiration for my current series is Kolkata; starting with my memories of Mullik Ghat Flower Markets. 

Kolkata was the beginning of our drive in our 1923 Vauxhall through India, Bhutan and Myanmar. 

I had the most wonderful time in Kolkata. 
Have you ever been there? 

Come spend some time vicariously experiencing Kolkata through my Studio E-Zine; where I share my Journal notes from Kolkata and a sneak peek into my Studio and how my inspiration from the Mullik Ghat flower markets have inspired my current series of handwoven blankets. 

I’ve just started this new account,  so if you’ve been interested in my posts, love you could share them to spread the luv! ♥️

My weaving is deeply rooted in my experience. My remote journeys and experiences continue to move through me as I weave. 

Although weaving involves repetitive tasks, my movements are intentional and connected to my spirit, memory and experiences. Weaving for me is far more than a physical task. It is art; my voice through my hands. 

Thank you for joining in with me to guess where my memories are from for my current Series. Here are some more clues in the photographs. 

DM your guess where you think this place is. Looking forward to reading where you think!
