Camp Wildflower - Adult Summer Art Camp

Adult Summer Art Camp | Creativity • Connection • Outdoor Fun

Why should kids have all the fun? At Camp Wildflower, adults get the chance to unplug, unwind, and rediscover the joy of summer camp. Each evening will be filled with creativity and connection through hands-on activities like fiber arts, paper crafts, friendship bracelets, and nature lanterns. After crafting, we’ll head outside for classic camp games—cornhole, ping pong, parking lot pickleball, and four square. Every camper will receive a Camp Wildflower t-shirt, and every night promises laughter, creativity, and a chance to make new friends.

Intermediate Pottery with Austin Navrkal

This course is designed for intermediate/advanced ceramic enthusiasts who have a solid foundation in pottery, looking to grow their creativity and knowledge of wheel throwing. Through individual and group discussion the class looks to offer guidance in wheel techniques for stack vessels, jars and lids, teapots, unique handle designs, trimming, and different ways to deal with large amounts of clay on the wheel. The course will also introduce knowledge of clay bodies- the way they react to certain circumstances during the creation process, aesthetics of form, surface decoration, glaze techniques, and some interesting historical context that still has relevance to the medium today. Expect a collaborative and dynamic environment where you can experiment with new ideas, receive constructive feedback, and grow as an artist!
