Fodder School — Willa Wanders (2024)

I have taken other year long classes which were an absolute disappointment to say the least; I decided to try ONE more year long class, Fodder School 1. I have not been disappointed in the least and have learned so much about myself as an artist. The list of teachers was spectacular, the lessons were well paced and doable, the results were outstanding for each and every participant who delved in to the class. Two thumbs 👍 up; and I will definitely register for FS2 when it opens.

Doing the large volume of work we have accomplished in this course has done amazing things for my art practice. I’ve found my style, my colors, my passions like never before. The pace of the course is somehow just perfect!! I’ve done every month and that’s never happened before in a year long course. I love that the instructors are there with us as students learning and playing… it is such a confidence builder. It’s not even a question that I’ll be signing up for fodder school 2.

I adore fodder school! This is the best mixed media experience I’ve had ever! I loved meeting the instructors who are top notch, and making long distance friends! Getting into the flow if making art in fodder school relieves stress and your worries about the world. Thank you especially to Wendy and Tiffany taking me along on this journey! Wonderful video!

This class is fantastic for anyone! I’m a “weekend crafter”, and Loved every lesson of Fodder School 1. The variety of lessons, the instructors being accessible and so giving and the community of artists at every level. Looking forward to Fodder School 2.

Being part of FS1 has been an extraordinary experience. One of the best investments I’ve ever made for my art practice. I’ve made amazing connections with other artists, my art making has grown leaps and bounds. I just can’t say enough about how important this last year as a Fodder School teacher and student has been for me. Such a unique and fulfilling experience!!!

Fodder School is my all time favorite mixed media class. From the wonderful teachers whose amazing lessons brim with creativity to the lovely community of fodderers , this has created a welcoming space for me to learn and grow in my art. I have learned so many new techniques and ways to use my fodder. Aside from the main lesson each month there are bonus lessons upon bonus lessons, so much bang for my buck! This is truly the best year long mixed media course out there and I cannot wait for Fodder School 2!

Fodder School has been exactly what I needed to develop a regular art practice. I am learning SO much with every lesson. Truly a beautiful and welcoming community of instructors and students. I can't wait for FS2!

This has been the best online experience ever! There is so much content, and it just keeps growing. Each lesson is approachable and achievable. It breaks down art concepts into bite size chunks that keep them from being overwhelming. The bonus lessons are so special, because you see how teachers interpret that month's lesson, and make it their own. I'm thrilled for Fodder School 2 and can't wait to sign up!

This has been the best course I have ever taken. I have lost count if the number of classes I have bought over the last few years. This has been the only one that I have done every single lesson. I absolutely love it and my confidence has grown enormously. I have bought the other classes but then just feel too intimidated to start. Fodder School has been so different. I felt so confident to start with. Each month starts with you producing the Fodder and then the second part you make a project. I really felt like my hand was held, and everyone is so encouraging. It has helped my mental health and confidence. I am definitely doing Fodder School 2.

Fodder School 1 is hands down the best class I’ve ever taken. So much talent and creativity in one place. The thought of it ending is unthinkable so I am absolutely thrilled there will be a Fodder School 2. Every teacher has given so much of themselves, I’ve learnt so many new techniques but best of all I feel I’ve finally started to really understand and know my own style. Thank you to Wendy and Tiffany and everyone else involved in bringing this amazing collection of artists and ideas into my life. You are all truly inspiring 💕

Never have I ever experienced such generosity in an on-line art course ~ not that I've taken tons of them, but you always have lovely freebies for us.

And from this corner of the world, I want you to know how much it's appreciated! Thank you so much.
