Art Classes for Therapy, Fun or Both - Brisbane

Do you enjoy art or crafting? If you're a Brisbane artist or maker, join us to meet other creatives and make new friends!

You are invited to join the Club Yellow event as a non-member for only $15.

Just click the "Find Tickets" link in this event to grab your spot now.

If you haven't attended a Club Yellow event before, be assured that all skill levels are welcome as we have a relaxed chat about all things arty to inspire each other to live our best ‘creative’ life.
It is optional, but we would love you to bring some of your artwork (or photos of what you do) for an informal "show and tell."

This event also includes a 'SWAP MEET' where participants are encouraged to bring any art supplies (new or pre-loved), they no longer want and offer them for FREE to the people attending. There is no obligation to contribute, but you might pick up something useful from the donations. It's a great way to feel less guilty about unwanted purchases when you want to declutter your art space.

As the founder of Studio Yellow, I'm excited to help creatives connect and thrive through these Club Yellow Networking events.

Please note: (Refreshments are available for purchase at great club prices.)

Nature nurtures! So, I have created a workshop to help you appreciate and document the natural world around you. Join me for an afternoon of positivity and gentle tuition to discover for yourself that any time spent drawing what you observe about nature is never time wasted.

Creating a Nature Journal is the perfect way to escape from technology and focus your thoughts on the variety and beauty that is lurking outside (and inside) your home.

It is well known that nature can calm the soul and journalling remind us just take a moment, be observant, and breathe in our surroundings.

Using charcoal, pencils, pens, watercolour, coloured pencils and water-soluble drawing media you will deepen your understanding of ‘HOW TO DRAW’ using ‘nature’ as your inspiration.

This workshop is for you if:

1. you’re looking for a way to press pause reduce stress and practise mindfulness.
2. you’re a complete beginner looking for guidance and instructions to build your drawing confidence.
3. you already have some drawing ability but you need a few hours to focus and enjoy the breathing space this workshop offers.
4. you’re a gardener or you like to travel and explore the great outdoors.
5. you’re ready to make ordinary pencil sketches jump off the page and look more sophisticated by applying a variety of easy techniques.

I’ll show you how to combine your love of nature and your interest in art all in one sketchbook that you will treasure forever. Journalling is a great way to get you back in touch with your creativity and record everything you see, think and feel.

It’s time to experience how the simple act of drawing nature can change any ordinary day into a day of wonder and joy.

By the end of the session, you will be taking home an A5 journal (supplied) filled with drawing samples plus loads of ideas for doing more drawing in the future.

Absolute beginners welcome.

This workshop perfectly complements my “Everything You need to Know about Drawing” and vice versa.

Make beautiful artworks to adorn your walls or add pizzazz to otherwise ordinary household items with simple, yet effective, screen-printed designs.

Made popular by Andy Warhol, Banksy, and the T-shirt industry, Screen Printing is a very versatile art form with the added benefit of easily making multiple copies of your art.

Learn the basics with me in the hands-on workshop where you will:

1. Learn the DESIGN skills needed to create stencils using words, patterns, and shapes, starting with a minimalist one colour print.

2. MAKE a physical stencil, which can then be taped against the screen, so you can create new designs as often as you like.

3. Get tips on how to print onto either FABRIC and/or PAPER. I’ll supply plenty of good quality paper, as well as one blank, white cotton Tea towel per person.

4. If you wish to print on other fabric, for example, a light-coloured cotton T-shirt or a Calico bag, you will need to bring this with you. Please contact me for more information about items that are suitable.

5. Learn essential clean-up tips and know how to CURE your prints.

6. See a demonstration on how to make a screen, so you can easily screen print at home.

7. Receive extra information and inspiration so you can go further when the class is over. I’ll show you how to design a multicoloured ‘fine art’ screen print, using multiple layers to build a more complex design.

This workshop is for you if:

1. you’re a complete beginner looking for an exciting, new, creative experience.

2. you remember screen printing at school and want to re-engage with this simple but effective printmaking process.

3. ‘Stencilling’ or ‘Paper-cutting’ is already something you do, and you want to learn ways to take what you know to a whole new level.

4. you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend a Saturday afternoon, mingling with people who also know the value of taking time out for some creative self-care.

Take your inspiration from the images supplied, or you are welcome to bring your own source material. With all my classes and workshops, you’ll be guided and supported a little or a lot depending on your wishes, and I offer honest advice and feedback so that by the end of the session, you’ll have a finished artwork and the confidence to continue the fun at home.

I know you’ll enjoy the PROCESS of screen printing because you’ll be focusing on learning something new, and you’ll be allocating time away from your chores and responsibilities in a friendly and relaxed environment.

This workshop is the ultimate introduction for beginners.

Drawing can turn every day into an adventure. When you learn to see the world through the eyes of an artist, you’ll discover that there is inspiration and playful opportunity at every turn. This workshop will take you through the basics of how to analyse everything you look at and recognize the key elements so you can create better drawings.

We will begin by working through a mini workbook so you can quickly learn the tricks and tips everyone needs to be able to do draw confidently. You will also have the opportunity practise freehand drawing and sketching by participating in a series of easy, anti-perfection, eye-opening drawing exercises designed to help you apply your newfound skills, all with my guidance and support. We will be using both 2D images and 3D objects as inspiration so that by the end of the session, you can expect to walk away with a workbook filled with valuable reference information, and lots of practical examples.

When you become comfortable with drawing and no longer fear it, your sketchbook will be a special place that will provide a relaxing distraction and take your mind off your everyday life. The pages will also offer a private place to try out new techniques, record ideas, collect imagery and focus your attention on something calming. It’s like a playground for your thoughts and feelings and that will even help with emotional healing.
