This introductory oil painting session explores the fundamentals of a time-honored medium, in a historic space built nearly a century ago. Flooded with natural light and creative atmosphere, Sacred Basecamp’s upper level great room will become a creative sanctuary for this course.

No experience needed — just a love of living things.

In this 4 hour hands-on workshop, you'll build a thriving miniature woodland ecosystem entirely from scratch. Vivariums — self-contained living landscapes housed in glass — are part terrarium, part living sculpture, and entirely captivating. The temperate woodland style draws from the mossy forest floors, rocky outcroppings, and soft ferns of the Pacific Northwest and mountain West, creating a tiny world that feels ancient, quiet, and alive.

Working with real moss, woodland plants, soil substrates, stones, bark, and other natural materials, you'll learn the fundamentals of vivarium design — including layering for drainage and root health, selecting plants that thrive together, creating depth and visual interest, and understanding the ongoing care your vivarium needs to flourish long after class is over.

You'll leave with a completed vivarium ready to display in your home, a solid foundation in the principles of closed and open ecosystem design, and a new appreciation for the extraordinary complexity of the forest floor.

All materials are provided. No prior experience is necessary — beginners are not just welcome, they are the intended audience.

Held at Sacred Basecamp in Peterson, Utah, in a 1929 historic sanctuary surrounded by the natural landscape of the Morgan Valley. Let the mountains inspire what you build inside the glass.

No experience necessary — just creative curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

In this 3-hour hands-on class, you'll explore the fluid, unpredictable, and endlessly surprising world of water-based media — including watercolor, ink, and gouache — through the lens of abstract painting. Water media has a life of its own. It bleeds, blooms, layers, and resists in ways that no other medium does, and in abstraction, those qualities become your greatest creative tools rather than problems to solve.

You'll experiment with color mixing, wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, mark-making, layering, and composition — learning to work with the natural movement of the materials rather than against them. By the end of class you'll have a small collection of completed works, a set of foundational skills you can take home and keep building on, and a new relationship with the joy of making something without a predetermined outcome.

All materials are provided. No previous painting experience is required — only curiosity.
