| Happy New YearI hope you have all had a fabulous Christmas break and that 2012 is set to be a winner for everyone.I know that from where I’m standing I feel like it’s been much more than a few weeks since 2011 ended… so much happening (for which I am grateful), and such a busy, inspiring time – in the studio, in the garden, even inside the house as we’re inspired to move things around and create new spaces! Do you do that too? My hubby groans when I utter the words… “I’ve been thinking we should….”, but finally he said “yes” to the concept of getting chickens – so looking forward to nice fresh eggs.
Anyway, back to the studio. Read on for all the latest news and happenings. And here’s to endless creativity in whatever form you choose! x Jules |

Try your hand at such things as ceramics, mosaics, silk painting, mixed media, collage, glass painting…. and lots more! PAINTING & DRAWING CLASSES:where students are specifically focussed on the painting or drawing media and subject of their choice; whether it be oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolours, pencils or all of the above! If you’re a complete beginner Jules will guide you through simple exercises and techniques to build your confidence. If you’re a little more advanced Jules can help you further hone your skills and explore new ideas. Whether you need advice on materials, subject matter or composition, these classes are a great way to get you motivated. View the weekly timetable. |
 When I Grow UpThis exciting new range of works, inspired by my daughter Jasmine’s story When I Grow Up was launched at Cupitt’s Winery Ulladulla late November last year and was a great success. The works in the exhibition were predominantly small mixed media pieces, each depicting a different aspect of Jasmine’s sweet tale. Thankyou to everyone for their support and encouragement, especially those who purchased a work.
Further to this, the idea of publishing the book is now much more of a reality (a sneak peek of the cover is pictured above) and I’m very excited about this prospect. Patience is required however, and I will keep you updated on the book’s progress throughout the year. A small selection of works that did not sell at the launch will be on display at Splatters of Milton soon. |
