Traditional hand painted canalware

Welcome to Julie's Jugs painted canalware

I am a Waterways artist and a narrowboat owner. Having left school many years ago with qualifications in drawing and art, I changed direction into engineering and kept the  artistic streak as a hobby. Still life, landscapes and seascapes in watercolour have always been favourites. Latterly this hobby has surfaced again into canal art. So when the engineering gets too much, and I need a break from repairing boats, steam engines, vintage vehicles and all things mechanical, I produce hand painted items and canalware to adorn narrowboats. From water cans, to jugs, bowls, mugs and anything else which will sit still long enough. I have studied this art form for many years, researched artists and styles and have now developed my own........

Julie is my partner, we run this together as we both have a passion for the canals, We also sell hand balm, and reclaimed windlass'

We also like to take commissions, so if you have an item on your boat which you would like updating or painting in full then please do let us know
