Clay Classes with Julie Kartono

Julie Kartono has been teaching clay art classes to both children and adults since 2015. She has mastered hand-sculpting techniques for creating figurines, flowers, miniature food, and more, learning from renowned instructors worldwide who specialize in air-dry clay.

Julie currently teaches in Danville and nearby areas and has also collaborated with the cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, and Danville for some years to offer clay art workshops and camps for children.

Her creativity shines through in mixed media clay art projects, where she blends character sculpting, flower making, and food sculpting with other art forms to elevate her work. Julie’s passion is to create functional clay art pieces that can be enjoyed in daily life or as decorative home accents, surrounding herself with her unique creations.

In her classes, she uses innovative air-dry modeling clay that is lightweight, pliable, and incredibly versatile—ideal for projects that range from simple to highly imaginative. With endless color-mixing possibilities, it's perfect for intricate details. The finished creations are not only beautiful but also lightweight, soft to the touch, and remarkably durable, providing a lifetime of enjoyment. These pieces air-dry to a firm consistency within 24 hours, requiring no baking, allowing students to take their projects home right after class.

Join her classes and explore the endless possibilities of clay crafting in a fun and creative environment, all in one creative space.
