Kind Words
A community that creates together.
We participated in the Resin Workshop. We loved it! We learned a lot and created beautiful earrings. We love taking workshops at Nakama. Everyone is so nice and welcoming.

Fun casual environment, lots of different, very affordable classes for kids and adults, some events are even free. If you want to learn something new in a calm, no-stress atmosphere, you gotta give this place a try.

We had our daughter's 8th birthday party here and Julie did such a great job with the setup and walking the kids through the painting. We brought minimal decorations, and it looked so cute. We did a Taylor Swift-themed pottery painting party. And Julie also set up a karaoke machine for them to sing their little hearts out. My daughter has so much fun with her friends. 10/10 recommend.

Our Story
Nakama means “a friend who is like family” in Japanese, an idea for which there is no direct English equivalent. The name was chosen to reflect Nakama Studio’s mission: to provide a welcoming, supportive environment where members of the community can learn, grow, connect, and build meaningful friendships.
Julie, the owner of Nakama Studio, has been creating jewelry for more than 15 years and has extensive experience teaching jewelry-making. She also operated her own home-based business for over a decade. When her husband purchased a building for his company, Anderson Gutter Company, Julie saw an opportunity to use the additional space to expand her passion. In September 2021, she opened Nakama Studio with the goal of offering classes, collaborating with local small business owners to share their expertise through workshops, hosting private events, and more.
As a small business owner herself, Julie is committed to supporting other local entrepreneurs whenever possible.In addition, Julie is a homeschooling mother of three. She enjoys offering a variety of educational classes and hosting a homeschool co-op to provide supplemental learning opportunities for other families in the community.
