About Julie

Julie Arkell, is one of the UK's best recognized contemporary folk artists working in papier-maché and mixed media. She combines stitch, knit, ephemera, vintage fabric and papier maché in her own distinctly personal and sophisticated way. Everything is produced by hand using knitted adornments, curious accessories, ribbons and found objects. The results are magically appealing and unique.

Her work has been exhibited at the Crafts Council of Great Britain and the Contemporary Applied Arts, and is collected both in the UK and the USA. She has had a bestselling book published by the Ruthin Craft Centre, simply called "Julie Arkell", featuring her work and studio.
