Art classes @ Studio Yellow - 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.

This is a SPECIAL One‑Off Creative Boost to help you achieve Your End‑of‑Year Goals

Saturday Afternoon • Studio Yellow, Manly West Proudly Supporting Queensland Mental Health Week

Feeling the pull to finish a creative project before the year wraps up? Have an idea you’ve been meaning to start — but life keeps getting in the way? Or maybe you just want clarity, direction, and a gentle nudge before the holiday season arrives.

This one‑off session, based on my regular ‘Splat ’n’ Chat’ sessions, is your chance to sit down, breathe out, and finally give your project the attention it deserves — with support, encouragement, and a relaxed creative vibe.

Bring any project you want to start, finish, or get advice on:

1. a painting or drawing
2. an art journal
3. a collage or mixed‑media piece
4. a handmade book
5. a block‑printing idea
6. a creative gift you want to make
7. or simply a concept you want help shaping

You’ll have three peaceful hours to work at your own pace while enjoying the company of others who are also prioritising time for themselves. I’ll be there to offer guidance, suggestions, troubleshooting, and gentle motivation whenever you need it.

Think of it as quality “me time” with purpose — a chance to feel proud, organised, and creatively grounded before the end‑of‑year rush AND support a very worthy charity (see below).

Perfect for Brand‑New, Tentative Creatives

If you’re completely new to Studio Yellow—or even new to making art—this session is a wonderful, low‑pressure way to check out the space for the very first time.

Enjoy a Relaxing, Creative Weekend Workshop at Studio Yellow – Manly West, Brisbane

Discover a new way to practise mindfulness and creativity in this hands-on block printing workshop designed especially for beginners. Whether you’re completely new to printmaking or rediscovering ‘linocutting’ from your school days, this workshop will expand your creative skills.

I will guide you through the entire process of designing, carving, and printing your own original artwork.

You’ll learn how to turn any image — supplied on the day or brought from home — into a bold, high-contrast motif full of pattern and personality. I’ll guide you step by step from your initial idea through to your finished print, offering as much support or independence as you prefer. The focus and concentration required to carve your block is deeply calming, and the joy of printing multiple copies of your design is incredibly satisfying.

Block printing is wonderfully versatile and easy to continue at home. You don’t need a printing press or a large studio — just your carved block, a few simple tools, and a small workspace. The block you create in this workshop becomes a bespoke stamp you can reuse again and again to make fine art prints, greeting cards, wrapping paper, collage elements, and more.

⭐ Optional Fabric Printing Add-On

Once you’ve mastered printing on paper, you’ll also have the option to print your design onto fabric that you bring along (must be 100% cotton). This is a fantastic way to personalise tea towels, tote bags, clothing, pencil cases, or any textile you’d love to transform.

You’ll learn how to prepare your fabric, apply ink correctly, and achieve crisp, long-lasting prints. If you’ve attended my block printing workshop before, this is a wonderful way to extend your skills and explore new creative possibilities.

What You’ll Make

1. A hand-carved printing block (your choice of 11 × 11 cm square or 15 cm round)
2. Multiple prints on quality paper
3. Optional: beautifully printed fabric pieces you bring from home
4. A finished artwork ready to frame
5. The confidence and knowledge to continue block printing at home

What’s Included

1. Your double-sided carving block (to keep forever)
2. All printing materials, inks, tools, and equipment for use on the day
3. Step-by-step instructions and personalised guidance
4. Organisational tips and advice for setting up your home studio or teaching in a school setting
5. Tea/coffee and light snacks
6. Apron for use on the day
7. Relaxing music
8. Photos of your progress (shared upon request)
9. All cleanup taken care of for you

What’s NOT Included

If interested, please bring your own plain, smooth 100% cotton fabric. Alternatively, bring $10 CASH to purchase a 50 x 70 blank white cotton tea towel on the day. Do not hesitate to contact me with questions about the suitability of what you want to bring along before the day.

This Workshop Is Perfect If You:

1. Are you a complete beginner wanting an enjoyable creative experience
2. Remember doing Linocut at school and want to reconnect with it
3. Already dabble in block printing and want to take your skills further
4. Want a relaxing, mindful way to spend a Saturday afternoon (consider signing up with a friend)
5. Value creative self care and time out from everyday stress
6. Love the idea of making personalised gifts or functional art
7. Want to explore printing on fabric as well as paper

Why You’ll Love Block Printing

Block printing encourages you to slow down, breathe, and carve away the parts that aren’t needed — just like in life. It’s calming, absorbing, and incredibly rewarding. You’ll leave with a sense of achievement, a beautiful handmade artwork, and a reusable block you can print with again and again.
