About Julia Dickenson: Julia Tait Dickenson arrived in Santa Fe in 1985 with a degree in studio arts and ceramics. Here she discovered a passion for jewelry and metal smithing, ultimately opening her own jewelry business, Thin Air Studio. In 1995 Julia moved to Vermont where she raised her family and continued her jewelry work. After 25 years, she is back in Santa Fe. During her 40 years as a maker Julia’s studio space has evolved to reflect her various creative endeavors: jewelry, ceramics, textiles, printmaking and now brooms and brushes. Guided by the phrase “Elevate the Ordinary” her brushes and brooms are meant to be used. She combines traditional broom making processes with local found objects (handles, balls, tools, etc) that feel good in your hand. Now as Thin Air Goods, Julia brings beauty and soul into objects intended for everyday use.
