Most Wild Meadow class offerings are designed for ages 5-18, but our FREE parent-and-me style community classes are great options for younger audiences as young as 3. Sign up for these free classes by browsing our homepage and looking for classes labeled as “FREE”. Even though these classes are free, registration is required for participation.
Preschool age children are also always invited to participate on family art and song days here at the Wild Meadows home studio.

At this time, private lessons are not offered. If your child thrives in small group settings, the Wild Meadows art classes and workshops might be the right fit for you. Naturally, we’ve designed our class sizes to be small and intimate, averaging 6-7 children per class, with no more than 10 children ever in a given class.
Seeking something more customized? Oftentimes, individuals will contact me asking to create a class specifically for their child’s friend groups, homeschool group or family members. As long as we have 4 participating children in each class, we can create customized classes for your child’s specific needs.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire hello(at)wildinthemeadows.com.

I do my best to provide high quality, one-on-one style learning experiences for your children while keeping in mind the demands of our modern families, economic hardships and special considerations for larger families.
If our discounted “class pass” option is not feasible for your family at this time, just know we frequently host family art days which offer art and music for the whole family. These family days are donation-based events and a family donation versus per student fee is acceptable. Wild Meadows also offers FREE parent-and-me style classes that are offered out in our community in local parks.
Our calendar of events is always evolving. Check back often to see how you may get involved!

Wild Meadows uses the term “wild crafted” to indicate a class/workshop that uses foraged art materials coming from natural, often native (local) habitats. We strive to practice sustainable harvesting methods, taking only what we need and leaving enough to ensure plants can reproduce and that our wildlife populations are taken into consideration.
We consult herbalists before any unknown plants may be used, always respecting the potency and mystery of Mother Nature.
