JOIN ONE OF OUR FABULOUS CLASSES AT OUR RICHMOND STUDIO

Fluid Art

Learn to create stunning, beautiful, unique art through the amazing fluid art technique, where the paint is poured and no brushes are used.

Fluid Art Experiences are about having fun and being creative.

Join a class and you will be introduced to the wonder of fluid art where you can literally ‘go with the flow’ and let your imagination soar and create beautiful vivid pieces of artwork with astonishing designs of swirling gradients.

And one of the best parts is … you need NO painting experience. This class is suitable for the novice as well as hobbyists and artists looking to develop skills in specific new techniques. Everyone is welcome and included. Bring your friends or come along and make new ones.

We teach a range of techniques; come for one session or a series. Warning… fluid art is addictive!
