About Studio Yellow

As many of you know, I’ve been teaching art for what feels like 125 years! Before I ever stepped into a classroom as a teacher, I spent 5 years studying art in high school and another 3 years completing my tertiary education, where I earned a Diploma in Secondary Art Teaching. Later, when I upgraded my qualifications to a Bachelor of Education, half of my subjects were art-related, including one of my favourites, Printmaking.

This means that for a VERY long time, I’ve either been creating block prints or teaching others how to make them!

This weekend is your opportunity to experience the magic of block printing for yourself. Whether you’re trying it for the very first time or you’re looking to refresh and build on skills you’ve learned before, you’ll be supported every step of the way in a small, friendly group environment.

Block printing is creative, mindful, challenging, and incredibly rewarding. It encourages you to slow down, focus on the present moment, and experience the satisfaction of transforming a simple idea into a beautiful handmade print. Along the way, you’ll develop new creative skills, build confidence in your artistic abilities, exercise problem-solving and design thinking, and enjoy the calming benefits that come from working with your hands. Best of all, you’ll leave with your own unique artwork and the knowledge to continue exploring printmaking long after the workshop ends.

Time is running out to join me this Saturday, Nov 14. Message me for all the details. 👍🏻 Print your dog. Print your cat. Print your face. Print your house or garden… #endlesspossibilities 👍🏻💛

You’re invited to join me this Saturday afternoon to learn all about Block Printing… image printing your Christmas presents! Greeting cards, wall art, custom fabric (to made into bags, tea towels, cushions etc). No previous experience necessary, just a desire to learn a new skill. You keep the carved block to use again and again! It’s a relaxing way to spend the afternoon when you know you’ll be in a small group with lots of support from me. Unframed prints are great to post interstate or overseas!! Pictured here are my ‘Thank you’ pineapples I created for the launch of Studio Yellow. I gave them as gifts to all who attended,
back in 2016. Jump on my website to read more and book. Remember I offer a family discount (conditions apply). #printmakingart #linoart #weekendart #hobby #giftideas

I saw a picture in an old newspaper, of a cute little bird with blue feet and I instantly saw potential! That’s the wonderful thing about having Art as a hobby. I haven’t finished yet, but I’m on my way!!! So far, I’ve drawn the picture and started carving! I’ve printed it once, just to see the progress… next, when the block is finished, I get to create a whole set of prints. I’m planning that some will be black ink on white paper, some will be printed on coloured paper, some with coloured ink, and of course some with blue feet. I’m thinking of splashing some blue watercolour paint, just over his toes!! 💙 Maybe I’ll do some with blue tissue paper underneath the print… the possibilities are endless. The project is exciting. It’s keeping my brain active as I think about how to create something from nothing… not nothing…from a tiny photo of a tiny seabird called a Blue-footed Booby. 💙 You can do this too! I’ll show you how, step by step this Saturday, November 14, 2026. Send me a message or comment below if you want more details and be sure to share this post with who needs a relaxing, enjoyable weekend to look forward to. Limited places are still available in this small in-person workshop… the last one for 2026. 💛🍍
