What our Adventurers Say:
Wanderlust has made me so love working in the art journal.
Learning so many different things from so many different artists is truly, truly amazing. This is such a good value for the money that I will be doing this every year from now on till the day that I die!

Wanderlust has become a vital virtual safe space for my art and creative practice.
Kasia feels like a creative and talented friend who introduces us to her other creative and talented friends!

Not only has Wanderlust improved my art practice, it also improves my mental health.
It's therapy for me as I suffer from anxiety. I've been a Wanderluster since the beginning & I have to say it has helped me through some very difficult times. I've learnt lots of new skills over the years!

Hello lovely, I'm Kasia Avery, the creator and the host of Wanderlust.
When I created Wanderlust back in 2015, I wanted a space where creativity could feel free, nourishing, and joyful. A place where art wasn’t about perfection or performance, but about connection and discovery.
Since then, nearly 30,000 people have joined us from every corner of the world. Wanderlust has become not just a course, but a community.
In 2026, we’re pushing into new territory. We’re not just journaling anymore. We’re building, sculpting, and creating art that you’ll want to hold in your hands and hang on your walls.
This is your year to stretch, experiment, and celebrate your art like never before.
I’d love for you to join me and 34 incredible teachers for Wanderlust 2026.
