January 2012… Creative News Flash


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

You will also have access to a variety of tools and objects to make various marks and textures in your work. Participants are encourage to bring other small objects and mark-making implements from around the house such as forks, combs, bottle caps, etc. Day One – all about the texture – tearing, arranging, gluing, modelling the materials.

Adults Classes & WorkshopsAt House of Jules we offer a range of weekly classes for adults:

OPEN CLASSES: where you can work on the project of your choice, under Jules’s supervision. 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.
Contact Jules to book your place, or for more details.


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.
