Upcoming Art Classes and Camps
at Little Wildflowers Art Studio for Kids!
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful weather as much as we are. I pinky promise I will not complain one time about it being too hot outside for the entire summer! We are entering one of the busiest times of the year for Little Wildflowers Art Studio... spring fun classes and SUMMER CAMPS. Yay!! I love offering these so kids can get TONS of art exposure while parents can have a little break. Keep on readin' for more EXCITING details!
Mother's Day Mixed Media Portraits of our Mamas!
The portraits the girls created in the picture above are of themselves. They're just so cute and since we've never done any portraits of our mamas, (why haven't I thought of this before!?) I wanted to share what your portrait will resemble. We will use acrylic paints on an 11"x14" canvas, along with yarn for your hair, collage paper clothes, and some fake flowers for your hair flower crown. It's always so sweetly innocent (not to mention HILARIOUS!) to see how our kids recreate us in art. This will be a special creation you'll definitely want to keep forever! Of course, if they wanted to do their grandma, they can!
-Friday, May 11th from 4pm-6:30pm
-for boys & girls, ages 5-13
-light snack provided
-dress in art friendly clothing
-$45 per artist

Prickles & Pineapples: a 3-week long sculpture making class!
I'm obsessed with pretty cactuses. The more I see on Pinterest, the more I want to make cactus farming a side job. In all that free time I don't have. ;) What's better than a cactus that needs water like once a week and still sometimes randomly dries out and dies?? One that needs water never! A brightly colored clay cactus arrangement in a flower pot, to be exact. Made by your artist in our 4 week sculpture class, "Prickles and Pineapples", to be even more exact! We'll also make this amazing paper mache pineapple that can sit in the middle of your dining room table and will be beautiful and I can guarantee you it will never go bad and attract lovely fruit flies! Paper mache, paint, model magic, etc all has to take a decent amount of time to work with and dry, which is why I decided to spread this one out over 3 Thursdays in May. Does your little REALLY want to do more art, but isn't ready to commit to months of classes?? This is the class for him/her.
-3 Thursdays in May: May 16th, 23rd and 30th
-4:30-6:30pm each week
-for boys & girls, kindergarten through age 12
-$120 per artist, $50 deposit holds their space

Sewing Machine Class: Design & Sew a Throw Pillow! (with a zipper!)
My amazing seamstress friends, Becca Hughes & Sara Taylor, are coming back to Little Wildflowers to teach us how to sew a pillow on a sewing machine! Both beginner and more advanced skill sets are welcome. Your artist will learn how to safely and properly use a machine, along with some sewing basics. Our past 4 sewing machine classes have been absolutely amazing! Watching a young person learn how to make something that they can actually use on a sewing machine is incredibly empowering for them! It's truly a lost art, because we can go to Target and get something, like a really cute pillow, for $12. However, sewing is a neat and tidy way to use their creativity and make something unique! I let them pick out a fabric they like from a picture, then I purchase it and bring it to the class.
We recommend you bring a (working) machine to the class so that afterwards, they can practice their newly learned skills. I just saw a Singer on the Outer Banks Yard Sale site today for inexpensive. However, if neither you nor your aunt/mom/neighbor/cousin/MIL has one, then we have one they can borrow for the class! :)
-Friday, May 25th from 4:00-7:00pm
-for anyone between the ages of 9-16
-light snack provided
-fabric, thread, pillow inserts, etc. all provided. Just bring a working machine (if you have one) or we have one you can borrow!
-$100 per artist

I always have kids asking if they can work with me. I love it. THIS could be their chance!! I have a few open time slots, if your artist would like to help me! There will be a special Little Wildflowers prize from me, if they do! If a few of them want to come together, the more the merrier. They will wear one of my aprons and will hang out with me at my booth during their selected time and help the kids that come up to the table to do the craft! Here are the time slots:

"True Colors": Summer Art Empowerment Camp for Girls! Yippie!
This camp is offered to 2 different age groups on 2 different weeks this summer!
Ages 5-8 and 9-12
Keep reading for the dates and more deets!
Every day, girls receive messages reminding them of how they should be. How they should look, what they should wear, what activities they should like, and what is "cool" to be good at. It's so important for them to hear wholesome messages so they feel confident to be themselves, starting at a young age. With art, there isn't any competition or comparison. This camp allows girls to freely express their creativity with art supplies and trust their intuitions, engraving on their hearts that they ARE enough. Even at such young ages, they do have intuitions and unique characteristics that need to be nurtured. That's my goal, for them to feel secure in their qualities, whether they're shy or talkative, tall or short, obsessed with math or more into music. They are individually beautiful, just the way they are, and using art as a medium of expressing themselves is empowering, even therapeutic!
**If it is not burning hot outside, we will walk to the beach for a little bit of yoga and treasure hunting to add to our projects. In the past, this has been SO fun!
During this week long "True Colors" art camp, we will use a variety of mediums to create beautiful pieces of art that they will keep forever, like:
-Model Magic
-Mod Podge
-A canvas
-Collage
-Acrylic paint
-Watercolor paint
-Oil pastels
-Fabric
-Yarn
to make an art journal, a whimsical dream catcher, a favorite animal portrait, a special sculpture and more. All the while, they'll be thinking about their individual beauty.
Here are some details about this camp:
-For girls ages 5-8, the dates are June 18th-June 22nd, 9:00am-12:00pm
-For girls ages 9-12, the dates are July 16th-20th, 9:00am-12:00pm
-Snack included everyday
-$200 per artist (a $50 deposit holds your artist's space)

Dollhouse Camp for ages 5-10!
I'm SO so excited about this camp! Together, with Eric Holsinger, the creator of the "OBX Makerspace", we've designed a REAL wooden dollhouse (about 1.5' tall x 1'wide x 7"deep) that your artist will build and decorate themselves! They'll choose paint colors, wall paper, make furniture, make a dollhouse family, create a roof texture, ... It's something I've been dreaming of doing and now it's a reality!! Watch my Instagram page for detailed pics of the house and decorating options!
-August 6th-10th from 9:00am-12:00pm each day
-for kids ages 5-10 (boys could definitely come and make it more boyish!!!)
-$225 per artist (a $75 deposit holds their space)
