Julia Wakefield - printmaker, illustrator & teacher

Introduction

Julia at Work

Julia lives in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. She teaches drawing and printmaking from her studio at the historic Hahndorf Academy, and she also runs workshops for schools and community groups. Her work can be seen at the Hahndorf Academy,  at the Red Poles Gallery in Mclaren Vale on the Fleurieu Peninsula, at Alice & Co and at the PG Printmakers Gallery, which are both in Brunswick St., Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Digital prints of her work are available through Red Bubble.

Julia grew up in England and studied illustration and printmaking in London. She enjoys producing work using traditional printmaking techniques, especially etching and wood engraving. She also specialises in and teaches solarplate etching, a technique which does not require the use of toxic chemicals. Her favourite print medium is the monotype.

Drawing Workshops

Julia teaches a beginners’ drawing course called ‘Drawing for the Terrified’, which is designed to help students tap into the ‘right’ side of the brain, thereby liberating themselves from the inhibiting influence of the logical ‘left’ side.  The next course will be a two day workshop at the Hahndorf Academy, on February 19 and 26, 2010.  Contact Julia for details.

Nearly all her work is available in the form of greetings cards, which are for sale only at the Hahndorf Academy and Alice & Co, or they can be ordered directly from Julia via this website.
