Splat 'n' Chat: Project Power Session

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:

• a painting or drawing
• an art journal
• a collage or mixed-media piece
• a handmade book
• a block-printing idea
• a creative gift you want to make
• 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 CreativesIf 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.You don’t need to bring a project if you’re unsure. Contact me via email before the day, and I can supply colouring-in designs and coloured pencils so you can simply relax, play, and enjoy the creative atmosphere while getting comfortable in the studio.No expectations. No pressure. Just a gentle introduction to creativity and community.Supporting Queensland Mental Health WeekThis special session is held in honour of Queensland Mental Health Week, celebrating connection, creativity, and wellbeing.
