About Studio Yellow

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. 💛🍍

🎨 Find Your Holiday Hobby! 💛

Looking for something fun and a little different to fill your days this holiday season?

Why not prepare ahead of time by learning Hand-Carved Block Printing on Paper or Fabric?

Come along and discover the joy of creating your own designs, carving your block, and watching your ideas come to life on paper or fabric.

It’s a lovely way to slow down, try something new and enjoy a little creative time.

It’s a process that requires very little equipment, so you can enjoy your new hobby easily at home.

Make the workshop even more enjoyable by bringing someone along to share the fun.

Remember: Sign up with a friend or family member aged 10–25 and enjoy a special discount! 💛

Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some artistic experience, you’ll feel right at home. I’ll provide step-by-step guidance when needed, while allowing experienced artists the freedom to work at their own pace and in their own style.

✨ Make this holiday season a creative one.

You’ll never ever know if you never had a go!!! Art might be the best thing that you could ever add to your life, not to make things busier but to make everything easier!!!! When you have a gentle way to quiet the mind, that is also fun and enjoyable, the whole world feels less overwhelming. The last weekend workshop for 2027 is almost sold out. Block Printing for Beginners, on Nov 14, is a great place to start. Message me for more details 👍🏻 #blockprints #artclassesforadults #weekendart #qualifiedteacher #selfcarematters❤️

Add a little swing to each and every day, with Art!!! It’s why I created my personalised Art Mentoring Program. This is your last chance to sign up in 2026, then there is a break over the holiday season. My studio is a supportive place to learn the skills you need to really enjoy being creative! As many of you know, I’ve been teaching Art for about 125 years!!! 🤣 I know how to find the artist within YOU. ✅ Contact me to ask all your questions or read more (and book) via my website. Starting now, with Module 108, guarantees you a place in the Module 101 (in 2027) too… only if you want it! One 4-week module is enough to get you on track for success… But current clients always get priority to reenrol in the next consecutive module so their creative journey, can continue to be supported by me for as long as they wish. 💛💛💛🍍#onwardsandupwards #mentoringwithheart #growbabygrow #lifeisbetterwithart #healingjourneys

I launched Studio yellow in December 2016 at the Pineapple Hotel, Kangaroo Point, surrounded by friends and family.

Then, I started doing whatever I could to build awareness of my business by holding market stalls and begging for snippets of publicity in the newspaper etc. I also taught small groups in retirement villages, after school art classes for children at local primary schools, corporate workshops and grabbed opportunities for speaking gigs.

I hired huge community halls, week in and week out, and I was thrilled whenever I’d get a single booking. If that happened, I’d call everyone I knew, who might be available, to join the class too, so that the real client didn’t feel so alone.

That first year my mum, my mum’s neighbours, MBC colleagues (who worked part time), my dance friends who worked flexible hours, and even my niece who was at Uni, all helped me out.

Crazy but necessary, because if I cancelled all the workshops that were not viable “due to lack of numbers” I would not have a business at all. 🤔

How times have changed, and how grateful am I to everyone who has supported me… then and now! 🙏

If you want to join my 10th anniversary celebrations, on Dec 5, comment below and I’ll send you the details 👍🏻#supportsmallbusiness #businessanniversary #celebratewithus #localartclasses #whatsonwynnummanly
