Glen Ash

Glen Ash is a practising fine artist and part-time lecturer and his paintings, prints and photographs have entered both private and public collections. He has worked in the performing arts as a special props and mask maker, moving into design and festival project management, designing and managing many features for the Adelaide Festival and Come Out youth festival programmes for 18 years until 2000.

Glen is currently teaching at the Hahndorf Academy whilst working on a new body of paintings. His work has always been concerned with the expressive potential of the relationships between the language and experiences of our subjective interior world and the nature of the external physical world. Currently the timeless metaphysical qualities of some Renaissance and Dutch artists of the 17th century are proving a strong influence.

Julia Wakefield

Julia Wakefield is an illustrator, a portrait artist and a printmaker. She trained in the UK and now lives in the Adelaide Hills. She works primarily as a printmaker, and specialises in teaching the simplest methods that can be done at home with inexpensive, non-toxic materials. She has worked extensively with etching, solar plate, monotypes and wood engraving. She also occasionally draws ‘on-the-spot’ portraits at the Hahndorf Academy during the summer months.

Classes
Julia teaches printmaking and drawing at the Hahndorf Academy . She also runs workshops and classes in beginners' drawing and portrait drawing for art societies, schools and community groups. She has designed a course called ‘Drawing for the Terrified’, which she developed as a painless way of helping people to ‘rediscover’ the right side, what is often described as the intuitive side, of their brains.

Julia is currently running life drawing sessions (untutored) in the Main St Studio at the Academy, and more Friday morning Drawing for the Not So Terrified classes are planned. For more information about Julia's classes contact Julia at juliawakefield@optusnet.com.au
