About Studio Yellow

I’ve just finished re-silking two screens, in preparation for the brand new workshop I’m offering next year! I’m so excited!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I remember my first experience with screen printing was in Year 8 @kgstatecollege We were challenged with the task of creating a doll/doll-shaped cushion. We designed and hand-cut the paper stencils, then printed the front and back images onto calico, and then sewed up the panels during Home Economics. I kept it for years!!! Since then, I’ve done a lot of screen printing, at high school, during my pre-service teacher training, teaching high school art, and (when my late husband was actively involved in Karate) printing logos on all the AAMA club T-shirts 😅. While I was on maternity leave, we even considered starting up a screen printing business. My husband registered the name ‘Splat Screen Printing’ but because I was so close to finishing my post graduate Bachelor of Education, I decided I wanted to stick with teaching instead. 🤔 I will be offering a ‘Simple Screen Printing’ (on paper and/or fabric) workshop on Saturday, March 14, 2026! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Bookings are open now, on my website. 👍🏻 Remember, learning new things keeps you young! 😂 #screenprintinglife #learningisfun #handmadeinaustralia #handmadeisbest #fabricart

My take on this: Sometimes we think the goal is the artwork… but really, it’s what artmaking can do for YOU.

Your courage to show up, your willingness to explore, your curiosity, your growth.

Dabbling in art is the perfect pathway to a brighter future — REMEMBER: The real masterpiece is who you become along the way. 💛

This quote also sums up why I left my secure job as an Art teacher at one of Brisbane’s most prestigious Private Schools. The reason was also YOU... I wanted to (NEEDED to) put my skills to good use, helping adults to find JOY.

After losing my husband to suicide in 2009, I felt compelled to devote my life to advocating for taking care of yourself. I always remind my clients that behind every creative exercise, every brushstroke, there’s a deeper purpose: protecting mental health and nurturing life.

Blast from the past! This multi-coloured screen print, was made long ago by one of my students, back in the days when I worked at Wynnum High School. The best part about any printing process is making multiple copies! Some to keep, some to give away and one for your art teacher to save to inspire future students. The theme was ‘Interiors’ and it’s just good luck that the dominant colour is yellow!!! Screen printing is a great way to decorate fabric! Think tea towels, tote bags, pencil cases, napkins. If you’re interested in learning all about screen printing, I’m currently planning a NEW weekend workshop on the topic for 2026! Comment ‘YES’ or send me a private message and I’ll send you more details! #screenprinted #weekendart #artclassesforadults #beginnersclass #newin2026

Ford for thought as the school year wraps up…The best gift we can give children is the freedom to create. 💛

When you are making and creating, instead of ‘consuming’, you teach children (and others) the importance of curiosity and how to develop confidence in their own ideas. ✨

YOUR creative/arty hobby will inspire the next generation to explore, experiment, and trust their creativity. 🌿Just another reason to keep doing what you love. 💛

Doesn’t this photo, taken on Wednesday at the final Splat ‘n’ Chat session for the year, make you salivate!!! How inviting!!! How enticing!! I’d love to steal them for a few hours, but I think their owner would object. 😂😂😂 Of course, if you have no idea how to use watercolour paints, NOW is a good time for you to check out my website. My 2026 weekend workshops have just been published. I will be teaching Watercolours basics in February! In just one 3-hour session you’ll be feeling so confident! #lockitin #getinquick #watercolourworkshop #weekendart #artclassesforadults beginnerfriendly
