Fluid Art with Hazel Beckett - Dutch Pour workshops
Fun fluid acrylic pouring class for beginners and all levels

"I absolutely loved the triptych fluid art day. It worked so well with Hazel and her experience and expertise. It went at the right pace and very clear instruction." - Angie

Hazel's new Fluid Art workshops are a fun and stimulating way to explore your creativity - and it doesn't matter at all if you've done some painting or none at all!

Fluid Art, or Acrylic Pour involves creating art on canvas panels by mixing, pouring and then manipulating paints. You will achieve beautiful abstract paintings you'll love under Hazel's expert tuition - ready to be collected after a few days drying time.

Hazel runs three levels of workshop - Beginners Fluid Art (suitable for all levels) and Triptych Fluid Art (suitable for those who've done some fluid art before) plus a fun Christmas Baubles session suitable for all levels.

About Hazel Beckett

Hazel has been a keen artist and photographer since she could pick up a pencil. She spent a long time working with ink until 5 years ago she discovered fluid acrylic art on Pinterest!

Since then she has honed her skills, learning from some of the top artists in the field. 

Her fluid art often takes cues from nature, aiming to capture the motion of water or be inspired by the colours of a favourite landscape.
One of the things that drew Hazel to fluid art was the playful fluidity of vibrant colours in motion and (unlike other art forms) the need to let go of the outcome to achieve the best outcome! 

 

What attendees have said about our courses:

"Hazel is a great and enthusiastic teacher, I always enjoy her workshops"

"I have no doubt I will be booking another paint pouring class as some point"

"The course was more than I expected. Clear patient teacher, willing to advise when needed."

"So positive! Always constructive, inspired to continue"

"Challenging, insightful, thought-provoking and inspirational"
