Immerse yourself in three calm, creative hours of slow art on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Guided by artist Kim de Haan, you’ll transform a beautiful pre-sealed plywood panel into an abstract artwork that echoes the textures and shapes of the coast.

Coastal Flow is about process over perfection — slowing down, following your instincts, and leaving with something that feels uniquely yours.

All materials included. No experience needed.

Limited to a small group (max. 10)

What to expect:

  • A short intro to Kim’s practice and the exhibition that inspired the workshop

  • Choose a pre-prepared ply panel in clear, jade green, or soft blue

  • Build texture with water-soluble pastels and wax pencils

  • Add layers of flowing acrylic ink using brushes, droppers, and spray bottles

  • Pause for tea and relaxed conversation while your piece begins to dry

  • Learn how to develop stylised linework from coastal rock formations

  • Finish your piece with painted linework — or take home a small kit to complete it later

What’s Included:

  • All materials: pre-sealed ply panel, pastels, inks, brushes, tools

  • Tea and light refreshments

  • Gentle, hands-on guidance in a small group

  • A take-home finishing kit (if needed)

Why I’m running it:

I’m testing the workshop before offering it more widely, and your feedback will be incredibly valuable.
After the session, I’ll share a short (anonymous) survey — and if you're happy for me to use a quote or photo, that would be a huge help.
