Mixed Media Art Workshop: FODDER SCHOOL
Have you ever scrolled the internet, stumbled across jaw-dropping mixed media art, and thought, “How in the world did they make that? I could never do that…”
Spoiler alert: You totally can.
At Fodder School, we demystify the magic of mixed media art. It’s not just about creating beautiful pieces (though you will)—it’s about discovering that YOU have what it takes to create art that surprises, delights, and even wows you.
And the best part? You can jump in anytime. No waiting, no starting over—just grab your favorite glue stick and join thousands of artists who are already discovering the magic of Fodder School.
FODDER SCHOOL participants LOVE our online mixed media and collage art classes!
“I've been crafter for nearly all my life, rubber stamp card maker and artist since 1993, and for over a decade at least I've been into mixed media collage and gelli plate prints (for collage and cards). I joined Fodder School to use my stash and do some "me time" commitments. I love your organization, instructions presented in pace for all levels, variations of topics which you all present in a way so it flows together down the road, the introduction to new techniques/arts/crafts to incorporate into your work, your selection of instructors, the price point, the ease of using Teachable..... you get the picture - I think your classes/program over all A+++”
-Cheryl P.
Why Fodder School?
We could give you the usual bullet points about value and lessons (and don’t worry, those are coming), but let’s get to the real reason:
This is where creativity feels fun again.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been dabbling for years, Fodder School is designed to meet you where you are and gently (or not-so-gently) nudge you into your next level.
And yes, you’ll pick up incredible skills. But more importantly, you’ll leave with something you can’t put a price on: confidence, calm, and a community that gets you.
make collage fodder . . . use collage fodder . . . repeat!
Enrollment Is Always Open at Fodder School! Join anytime.
What is Fodder School?
🎨 Lessons That Light You Up: From “make fodder” sessions at the start of the month to “use fodder” projects mid-month, you’ll have plenty to keep your creative gears turning (and your art supplies well-loved).
🌟 Step-by-Step Guidance: Not sure where to begin? We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re holding a paintbrush for the first time or you’re a seasoned mixed-media maven, these lessons are designed to help you grow.
🤝 A Community That Feels Like Home: Think of it like your favorite crafting table—but online, with artists from all over the world who totally get your washi tape obsession. Encouragement? Check. Meet up once per month in our optional Zoom meeting and share information with the community and ask the teacher questions in person. Can’t attend? No worries! Recordings go into the classroom. Ask questions and share your work if you’d like to 24/7 in either the Teachable classroom or the optional Facebook group.
✨ Freedom to Explore: No grades, no pressure, no “you have to do this right.” Fodder School’s mixed media and collage art workshops are your space to experiment, play, and embrace imperfection.
⏱️ Jump In Anytime: Whether it’s day one or day 101, there’s no wrong time to start. Seriously, your glue stick is already jealous.
How to Join and What to Do Next
So, you’re ready to unleash your creativity and dive into Fodder School? Amazing choice! Let me break down our ONLINE mixed media workshop for you so you know exactly what to do next.
Step 1: Jump Into Fodder School 4 (Happening Right Now!)
Why start here?
Because Fodder School 4 is LIVE, and it’s where the creative party is happening!
New lessons are dropping twice monthly, the Make Fodder and then the Use Fodder lessons, so you’ll always have fresh inspiration.
Our global community of artists is already creating, sharing, and cheering each other on—don’t miss your chance to join the fun. Connect with others as much or as little as you need to.
The best part? You can start anytime! Even if we’re a few months in, there’s zero pressure to catch up. Just jump in, grab your glue stick, and let the magic begin.
Work at your own pace. It’s up to you how you approach the lessons that drop into the classroom. Some participants keep up with the routine lesson drops that arrive every other week, while many others choose to go back to previous projects and work on their own timeline. It’s totally your call!
Inspiration and Education Bonuses galore: one of the most magical surprises about Fodder School is that it is a “living course.” That means that additional lesson content is spontaneously being created all the time that is inspired by the main lessons. This adds unparalleled value to your learning and inspiration experience. It’s hard to put it into words, you kind of need to experience it to understand how extraordinary this whole thing really is!
Step 2: Explore Fodder Schools 1, 2, and/or 3
Want more?
Our earlier Fodder Schools are a goldmine of creativity, packed with unique projects and pre-recorded lessons you can access anytime. Each Fodder School package of classes has a unique set of instructors and lessons. You can absolutely pick from any project, and then jump in at the start of those Make Fodder lessons, follow it through to the Use Fodder Lessons, and then enjoy all of the bonus lessons that are part of that month.
By the end, you’ll have completed a wonderful mixed media/collage art project. And then you can start all over again with any other month of your choice. There is no month of content that you are not capable of doing from start to finish RIGHT NOW!
