Founded in 2020 in Texas by Maya Ratcliff, Hawaii Fluid Art offers immersive fluid-art and resin-art experiences. The brand is headquartered in Cedar Hill, Texas. It began franchising in July 2021, launching a low-cost, creative business model.
Hawaii Fluid Art sells guided classes in fluid art, resin tumblers, glass painting, mosaics, candle making, trucker-hat design, skateboard art, and more. Classes are designed for all ages and skill levels and are ideal for group events such as date nights, birthday parties, and corporate team-building.
The mobile-unit franchise model allows services to reach schools, resorts, festivals, and off-site venues. The franchise stands out with its signature fluid-art technique that creates unpredictable “cell” patterns in each piece, combining science with creativity.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Hawaii Fluid Art offers a comprehensive training program for franchisees and their staff to ensure consistency and quality in business operations:
Hawaii Fluid Art provides franchisees with a limited form of territorial protection. Once a studio site is accepted, the franchisor designates a “Territory,” typically a three-mile radius unless located in a dense Central Business District, where the area may range from two blocks to three miles.
Within this defined Territory, the franchisor agrees not to operate or license another studio under the Hawaii Fluid Art name, provided the franchisee is not in default under the agreement.
However, this protection is not absolute. Hawaii Fluid Art explicitly states that franchisees do not receive an exclusive territory and may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternate distribution channels under different brand names.
