Step inside to shop for bargains and meet the artists during Thirroul’s Seaside Festival.
The exceptional visual artists at Barracks Art Studios Thirroul will open their work spaces to the public on Saturday, 31 May and Sunday, 1 June from 10am-4pm as part of the Seaside Festival.
Located in an old brick building near the railway line at 1 Church Street, the Thirroul studios are home to well-known local painters and sculptors, including David Hull, Graham Sinclair, Skye Zaracostas, Frank Nowlan and Judy Bourke, star of the Flame’s cover in May 2024.
“Climate change is the theme for me now,” Judy says. “Creating artist books and outdoor and inside sculptures have taken my time and interest in 2025. Collecting used and interesting objects still interests me.”
At the open days, Judy will have pure woollen beanies and hand-dyed silk scarves for sale, as well as prints and artist books.
Contemporary painter David Hull – whose art provides an interpretation of an area’s industrial landscape – has entered his work in the main festival exhibition. He’ll have small and large canvases, and works on paper for sale.
