Studio Yellow is located in Manly West, Brisbane, just a short walk from bus stops on Manly Road and a ten-minute drive from the Manly Train Station. The full address will be provided after you have made your booking.
In addition, Studio Yellow can also offer you on-location workshops at a venue of your choice. This is perfect for private group events such as Arty Parties and Corporate Wellness or Team Building workshops.
If this is your first art class, do not worry—we will start with the basics. Because of the open-ended nature of art, it allows you to work at your own pace.
Plus, if you have your own ideas, feel free to explore them. Otherwise, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
Studio Yellow Art classes can provide you with significant benefits as a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) client. Studio Yellow art sessions fall under the Capacity Building category. Which aims to support you in building your skills, independence, and overall well-being. Here’s how:
Studio Yellow Art classes offer a safe space for your self-expression. In turn, this helps you manage emotions like stress, anxiety, or depression. This aligns with the NDIS goal of improving your daily living and mental health.
Through guided art-making, you can improve your fine motor skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. This fosters your self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. Which is crucial for building your independence.
Group art sessions encourage social interaction, by helping you develop your interpersonal skills and reducing your feelings of isolation. This contributes to the NDIS objective of promoting your community participation.
Art classes are highly adaptable. Making it accessible for you with varying abilities. Studio Yellow can work closely with you to meet specific goals in your NDIS plan.
Studio Yellow’s programs are designed to improve your overall quality of life. By offering creative and therapeutic experiences that align with NDIS guidelines for your holistic personal development.
NOTE: Studio Yellow is not a registered NDIS Service Provider. Though we have worked with many Self-Managed and Plan-Managed clients. To access the NDIS funding for your classes, please DO NOT book via my website. Instead, contact me to discuss your specific circumstances. You will be provided with invoices and Service Agreements (admin fees may apply).
Invoices must be paid prior to your class commencement.
Please note: Studio Yellow is NOT a Wheelchair Friendly venue.
At Studio Yellow, support workers are welcome to attend group sessions with your clients. However, you must purchase a discounted ticket (50% off) to remain in the studio during the session.
Support workers may participate in the class and sit at the tables. However, you will need to book a spot and pay the full price for the session.
If you feel uncertain about attending alone, we can arrange a short ‘meet and greet’ before your first class with your support worker. This can help ease your concerns about attending solo.
We understand that your situation may be unique. Therefore, please feel free to contact us directly to discuss your specific needs or accommodations.
Studio Yellow does not hold regular classes for children. However, children 10 years and older are able to attend weekend Art Workshops. Children must also be accompanied by a paying adult.
Ask us about Family discounts (minimum of 6 family members). You are encouraged to enjoy a shared experience with your children.
Note there are no discounts for children attending an art class.
Alternatively, if available, children can be booked in for a private student session if accompanied by an adult. So, please reach out if this might be a more suitable option for you.
No, all materials will be supplied unless otherwise specified (e.g. Splat ‘n’ Chat sessions). In addition, the benefit for you is that you can try before you buy.
Why spend money on art materials that do not suit your needs?
The pros and cons of the materials used in class are discussed so you can make informed choices about setting up your own art studio at home.
However, you might like to bring your own food to snack on. But note, tea and coffee are supplied.
You are welcome to bring some art supplies if you want to supplement the materials provided. However, there are many benefits to using the materials that are included.
Note that there are no discounts if you supply your own materials. In addition, your art materials must be clearly labelled to avoid confusion as to who owns the art materials being used. Consequently, it will be assumed that anything not labelled belongs to Studio Yellow.

Absolutely not! Due to the open-ended nature of all art tasks, you will thoroughly enjoy repeating any programs or workshops. It is actually a great way for you to consolidate and extend your skills. As well as to ask more questions and build your self-confidence.
Remember the subject matter can always be adapted to suit your skill level and keep it really interesting for you.
Join my classes. You will be amazed at how the ideas will flow after even just one of my studio workshops.
It is not uncommon for people with formal Art or Design training and loads of passion and talent, to lose their way when it comes to making their own Art.
Often family duties, household tasks and work commitments can take over and inspiration can be hard to find. Then when you finally have the time/space/materials, you feel stuck because you don’t know where to start!
Studio Yellow classes aim to give you more than a fish! I believe in the Chinese proverb ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ You might already have a fish (technical skill).
However, lets learn HOW to fish so you will never run out of ideas!
My classes are ‘choice-based’, so you don’t have to copy the way I make my art.
My job is to teach you skills and encourage your individuality and self-expression.
Our workshops are repeated regularly throughout the year to accommodate your busy schedule. Depending on the specific workshop, sessions they may be offered every few weeks or on a monthly basis.
If you are unable to attend a current session, feel free to check back or contact us directly to inquire about upcoming dates.
Most workshops are repeated, but sometimes, because I have so many topics I’d like to offer, it can be up to six (6) months or more before you will see the same one again.
If you are unable to attend but you are interested in a specific session, please let me know. I am more likely to schedule the event again when I know there is a lot of interest.
HOWEVER, always remember that the length of your life is unpredictable. So I want you to think of about another quote I love….“One day? or day one. You decide!”
Making time for an Art class could be DAY ONE of an exciting new direction in your life.
Additionally, you can join our mailing list to stay updated on future workshops.
Every week is a stand-alone lesson, covering new content. If places exist, there is absolutely no reason why you should not start anytime after week one.
All you need to do is contact me so I can adjust the price for you.
NOTE: Once enrolled in a term program, you are a VIP and you will receive priority booking for the following Term if you choose to continue.
It is NOT possible for you to bring your baby to a class.
If you wish to book a Private Session, it might be possible to bring your baby, however, please understand that babies change the atmosphere in the studio for everyone present.
Group bookings of 6–10 people can be made at alternative times, on topics of your choice. However, please contact us directly to discuss options. I have ideas for all occasions or I can work with your ideas.
For groups of more than 10 people, you will need to find another venue and additional costs may apply depending on the location.
Yes! When you make your booking, go to ‘VIEW CART’ then “Proceed to Checkout”. Next, please select PAYPAL where you will be able to split the total amount into four (4) payments.
Art materials make great presents; however, if you don’t know what to do with them, they may end up in a cupboard for years.
Studio Yellow Gift Cards are the perfect solution.
You choose the value, then your friend can choose the experience. When you purchase a Gift Card, a downloadable PDF will be delivered straight to your inbox, so it is ready to share immediately. You will be giving an EXPERIENCE that will be remembered forever.
Most people worry about attending their first art class. Remember, art-making can be learned and I will guide you every step of the way until you feel the confidence to branch out and try things on your own. Try changing the word ‘anxious’ to ‘excitement’. Tell yourself that you are feeling ‘excited’ about trying something new.
However, please contact me if you want help deciding where to start.
School Art is different from other Art. Most Primary school teachers are not specifically Art trained. For some teachers, creating an authentic learning experience can be challenging. Particularly, when an Art budget is all but non-existent and their own ‘art’ confidence or knowledge is low. This results in Art lessons that are often very low-key and prescriptive. Add short lessons and large class numbers, and it is not very conducive for you to get your creative juices flowing.
However, it is VERY different when you choose to learn Art later in life. Think of learning Art like you are learning a new language… an exciting, expressive, versatile, and universal language that is really fun for you to explore.
It is never too late!
If you had a bad experience at school, remember, the curriculum is crowded, and teachers must work to criteria for assessment purposes.
Learning Art as an adult is heaps better, and no exams!
It ca not be stressed enough… It is never too late for you to get back into art.
Just look at artist Carmen Herrera, who discovered Art at the age of 89.
