Creative Connections Brisbane

These fabulous sessions are for people with some experience, who want to learn more, practice, make friends, explore ideas, ask for feedback, and share their expertise and most of all, set aside TIME to be productive.

Each session allows you to work side by side with like-minded people while doing your own project independently, to avoid creative blocks and lack of motivation.

Splat ‘n’ Chat sessions are designed so we can support and encourage each other! Perfect if you’re a procrastinator!

This is a mixed ability group that is all about helping you create more and enjoy doing it!

I know that whatever level you’re at, it’s often find it difficult to escape your chores and make time for your passion.

You will be amazed at how I can help you to increase your productivity and expand your ideas.

MY STUDIO SPACE IS YOURS so that together we help each other to articulate our ‘Arty thoughts’ and get our projects finished.

If you aim to move you toward exhibiting and selling your work, Splat ‘n’ Chat could be your first step toward making it happen. Imagine the thrill of taking part in local Art Markets or Exhibitions and inviting your friends and family to the Opening Night. You CAN be a real, productive, prolific, successful artist.

Together we will make ‘it’ happen.

BYO all everything you need to work on your project. Bulky items like Easels, water containers, etc, and Tea/coffee are provided.

Learn a new way to practise mindfulness by turning your favourite pictures or drawings into block prints. For me, the focus and concentration required to hand-card a block, before printing, is very relaxing. I also love the process of making multiple copies of the one design.

You’ll learn how to turn any image into a bold design full of contrast and pattern. I will guide you through every step from the initial design to the finished product.

Blocking printing is a versatile process that you could continue to do at home because you don’t need a lot of space or an expensive Printing Press…and you will be able to use the block you make during this session again and again as a bespoke stamp to produce more Art prints, unique greeting cards or create collage elements for your other Art projects.

This workshop is for you if:

• you’re a complete beginner looking for an exciting creative experience.
• you remember doing a linocut at school and want to re-engage with this simple but effective printmaking process.
• block printing is already something you do but you want to learn ways to take what you know to a whole new level.
• 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 Nature (images supplied) or you are welcome to bring images on another topic. You’ll be guided and supported a little or a lot depending on your wishes, and offered honest advice and feedback so that by the end of the session, you’ll have a finished artwork ready to frame and a hand-carved block to keep (and re-use).

You’ll love the process of block printing because we all need to make time to breathe, relax and (like in life) carve away the parts that are not needed and keep the parts you like.

What’s included:

1. Your choice of one 11 x 11 cm double-sided square block OR one 15cm round double-sided block to carve during the session (and keep forever).
2. All materials and equipment.
3. Step-by-step instructions.
4. Organisational ideas and advice on resources you need to set up your home studio.
5. Tea/coffee and light snacks.
6. An apron for use on the day.
7. Relaxing Music.
8. Lots of photos that I will share with you, upon request.
9. Clean up – it’s all taken care of for you.

Introduce yourself to the mystery and magic of using watercolour paints. In just one session you will fall in love with this easy to set up and easy to clean up Art medium that gives instant results. You’ll have the opportunity to practise all techniques before applying your new skills to make an artwork I’m sure you’ll be proud of. I will demonstrate techniques, give individual guidance and discuss the pros and cons of the variety of paints, papers and brushes that are on the market. Watercolour is the perfect medium for busy people because you don’t need to wash up every time you need to stop working. This also makes Watercolour a very economical painting solution because you never need to wash leftover paint down the sink. With brilliant colours, translucent washes and other exciting effects you can use Watercolours are both portable and non-toxic, just right for Travel Sketching, Art Journaling, Illustration, Cartooning, Graphic Design and Fine Art.

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.)
