Julie Robert is a talented textile artisan with a knack for reappropriating old creative techniques, deconstructing and modernizing them to make wall decorations, cushions, and ceiling lights.
Weaving soothes her, just as her textile works are a comfort to us. With her characteristic softness, she likes to take the time to feel and touch the fibers. She has already published six books with Marabout, such as Ma déco #handmade or L'atelier Granny Square, in addition to running workshops and creating custom pieces.
