About Your Teacher:

Julija Kolega Halilovic from Soul Portraits and Art Julija is a felt artist who is enchanted by the magic of turning wool fibre into a cohesive felted fabric. Through extensive reading and experimentation, her techniques are self-taught and continually evolving.

Employing both traditional and modern felt making techniques, Julija creates hand felted sculptural pieces of functional, decorative, and wearable art.

Her work is incredibly intuitive and unites the hands, head and the heart.

The journey into art and wool painting started at the craft group of the Waldorf school her daughter was attending.

As a professional therapist and energy worker, this therapeutic medium opened up the whole new level of expression and communication with her clients.

For the last 6 years she is conducting the workshops for adults and children.

With her daughter she was award winning artist at the Matthew Flinders Art prize at Brisbane.

Her work was in some of the prestigious galleries in Queensland. Originally she is coming from Croatia where she finished the Diploma of Phylosophy and Religious Cultures.

Her passion to know more and to explore other cultures, brought her to Australia where she lives for the last 17 years.

She recently moved to NSW with her family from Brisbane.
