Art Camp for Grown-UpsA 5-day creative reset that feels more like play than pressure.
August 25–29, 11am–noon Central
Live on Zoom, replays included


Join us for 5 days of fun, easy, and wildly enjoyable art challenges—designed to stretch your creative muscles (gently), get your hands messy (in the best way), and remind you that art isn’t only for professionals or prodigies. It’s for anyone who wants to make something.
🖌️ No art supply binge necessary
🧃 Pajamas totally acceptable
💛 Just $27 for the whole week
🎁 Replays included, so no worries if you miss a day

​Because let’s be honest--$27 is less than the art supply you bought and forgot about, and this comes with joy, connection, and creative energy you actually use.


Plus, there’s more to love: Post your daily art in our Art Camp Facebook group and you’ll be entered to win awesome prizes like:

🎨 A 6-month membership to The Creative Collective
🗣️ A 30-minute private 1:1 art chat with me, Mary Telfer

📦An original painting from me: It’s not about how “good” your art is. It’s not about how much you post. It’s about presence, spirit, and participation. We’ll draw one more name from the group… and that person will receive a tiny original artwork from me.


You’ll try new techniques, surprise yourself, and finish the week feeling more you—creative, energized, and a little bit in love with making things again.

​Sign up now and get ready to play.

Because grown-ups deserve art camp, too. 🎉

Suggested SuppliesYou don’t need much - just a few fun tools and a sense of play:
​
  • Water-based markers (like Crayola) and a soft brush + water
  • Watercolors (or any water-based paint) and a dropper or pipette
  • Soft pastels (or swap with oil pastels, crayons, or even markers)
  • Watercolor paper or any paper that can handle a little moisture
  • Patel paper or something that will hold pastels (mixed media or watercolor paper)
  • Scissors, glue and/or glue stick, and a few words (hand-written or from an old magazine or scrap paper for collage)
  • A good cup of coffee, tea, or juice box - because art is better with a sip of something you love

Real people. Real art. Real smiles.
Come for the inspiration, stay for the community. 💛

Hi, I’m Mary - artist, mentor, and the creator of The Creative Collective, a thriving online community where making art is joyful, freeing, and totally doable (yes, even in pajamas with coffee in hand).

Whether you’re a seasoned painter or a creative soul who hasn’t picked up a brush in years, you are welcome here.

This summer, I’m inviting you to something special:
Art Camp for Grown-Ups—a 5-day guided experience where we’ll play, experiment, and reconnect with that spark that makes art feel like magic.

Each day, I’ll guide you through a fresh challenge inspired by favorites from my Creative Collective. We’ll explore color, abstraction, playful techniques, and the kind of creativity that doesn’t care if it gets messy. (In fact, mess is encouraged.)

There’s no critique, no pressure, and no art store haul required. Just bring what you’ve got, show up as you are, and give yourself the gift of time to create.

Because I truly believe everyone deserves to feel the joy of making art again.
Let’s make the end of summer wildly creative.
​

💛 Just $27 for the whole week.
