Whimsy Wees

​Whimsy Wees is a process-focused art studio located in the Bethany area of Portland, Oregon, established in 2023 by Lisa Arcangel, a passionate educator with over 20 years of teaching experience and a B.F.A from Art Center College of Design. The studio offers a diverse range of art classes and workshops tailored for all ages—from toddlers ("Little Wees") to seniors ("Classic Wees")—emphasizing the joy of creativity and self-expression. Programs include after-school art classes, summer camps, homeschool workshops, family paint nights, kids' night out events, adult sip and paint sessions, and mobile art projects. Whimsy Wees fosters a positive and inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to explore their artistic potential, focusing on the creative process rather than the final product.

About the activity:

Embark on a creative wilderness adventure with our Nature Explorers 4-day art camp! Artists will craft a 3D paper-mâché animal, build enchanting forest dioramas, and sculpt adorable clay creatures tucked into a magical woodland scene. The journey continues with a hunt for tiny clay mushroom houses and painting whimsical mushrooms on canvas with acrylics. With projects exploring mediums like watercolors and oil pastels, this camp is a perfect blend of nature and imagination, inspiring young artists to let their creativity run wild!
