Julia Manheim studied at the Central School of Art & Design. In 1973 she set up a workshop with Caroline Broadhead and Nuala Jamison, before establishing her own studio in London in 1975.
Manheim achieved noted acclaim for her work, exploring the boundaries between jewellery and clothing; jewellery and sculpture and drawing. Her 1982-3 Wire Work collection was seminal, particularly in its use of industrial plastics.
