The Asterion Journal
How we work well, make well and live well.
In conversation with Julia Blaker, Cut-Out Artist, Mixed-Media Painter, Folk-Art Storyteller
Julia talks about her creative process, working with paper and paint, and finding beauty in the overlooked details of home and harvest. A reflection on slowness, craft and seeing afresh.
In conversation with Kate Charlton, Botanical Illustrator & Greeting Card Business Owner

From her Somerset studio to The Old Vicarage in Leigh-on-Mendip, she shares how emotion, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence shape her work — and her upcoming Asterion & Co. Christmas Card Course.
