About us
This group is for anyone who has always wanted to take art lessons and finally decided to do so. After working in schools for the past 30 years, and with my new Diploma of Art Therapy, I have developed a unique teaching system that is more than just learning skills. I know the health benefits of living a creative life. I help people develop their creative side so they can use art-making to learn, grow, heal, make friends and find enjoyment.
In 2009, my husband of 22 years, lost his battle with Depression. My life was turned upside down in an instant! Art became invaluable to me while I grieved and by 2016 I was ready to launch Studio Yellow. I now share what I've learned personally (and professionally) with others because I really believe Art helps to make life worth living.
While everyone is welcome, I started Studio yellow to reach out to adults who feel they really need to start 'ART' from the very beginning. My classes combine everything I know about art materials and techniques with everything I have learnt about fostering creativity from the 100s of students I have taught during my career. As a fully qualified, registered Art teacher, I make every class relaxed and informative so you will learn how to enjoy the creative process in a completely non-judgemental atmosphere. With lots of personal attention, absolute beginners feel particularly supported.
You will meet people who have always had art in their heart but have had little or no opportunity to learn how to do it. I also run sessions for those with some Art experience who are looking to reignite their confidence or work in a collaborative art space. Our members also meet up socially at Galleries and Exhibition openings and anywhere else that takes our fancy.
My classes are held in Manly West on Brisbane's beautiful bayside on weekdays and Saturdays!! I also offer Corporate workshops such as my '5 Steps to unlock Positive, Proactive and Productive teams'. A full list of classes and workshops are listed on my website (www.studioyellow.com.au).
I love changing lives for the better, through Art as I truly believe all Art is therapy. I urge you to nurture your mental health forever by starting a healthy hobby today!
I look forward to meeting you soon, Natalie

Papier-mâché sculpture for Beginners
Manly West Studio, Treetop Place, Manly west, Brisbane, AUPapier-mâché (or Paper Mache, as it’s often spelled) is an easy and fun way to create durable 3-dimensional objects (like a little bird) and low-relief wall art (like masks).
Often thought of as ‘only for children’, this workshop will prove otherwise as I present an exciting insight into the world of SCULPTURE.
This workshop is ideal for Creatives (interested in expanding their repertoire to include 3D forms), Beginners (looking for a relaxing and mindful afternoon to break from routine), Teachers and Parents (wanting to pass on these skills to others). It’s also the ultimate art media for ‘affordability’, as most of the materials needed are upcycled items that can readily be found.
While the concept is rather simple, the process is quite time-consuming (and relaxing), but by the end of the session, you’ll create and decorate at least one whimsical or stylised, small 3D artwork. Plus, you’ll come away with the skills, inspiration and motivation required to create a wide variety of extra projects at home.
You’ll discover how papier-mâché is so versatile that you could create items (big and small), to give as gifts, sell at the markets or decorate your own home. During my career in schools, I’ve used papier-mâché to create items for props for Costumes and Stage Plays e.g. Caveman clubs, Royal crowns, Masks, Magical wands, Goblets etc. (I’ll explain how!)
This is one of those Art experiences that doesn’t require any previous experience or drawing skills, yet you will still develop your creativity as you explore the endless possibilities of colour, form and texture.
What’s included:
- All materials and equipment.
- Step-by-step instructions on various techniques for creating and decorating your sculpture, using found objects, natural materials, interesting papers and layered paint so you gain the know-how to create your own unique and individual effects.
- Organisational ideas and advice on resources you need to work on similar projects in your home studio or school.
- Tea/coffee and light snacks.
- An apron for use on the day.
- Relaxing Music.
- Lots of photos that I will share with you, upon request.
- Clean up – it’s all taken care of for you.
