Invent A Wildflower Art Class for Kids

Join local author Ashley Erdely and mixed media collage artist Jordan Kim for a playful, hands-on class exploring wildflowers through science, art, and imagination. Kids will learn the parts of a wildflower and its relationship with native pollinators, examine real flowers up close with hand lenses, and sketch the surprising patterns they discover. Inspired by Ashley’s book, Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest for Kids, students will invent their own imaginary wildflower, then bring it to life using drawing, collage, and creative writing. This class is perfect for curious kids who love nature, creative writing, storytelling, and making art. No experience needed—just a sense of wonder!
