Fodder School 2: Immersive Mixed Media Art Workshops

What is Fodder School 2?

  • Fodder School 2 was originally launched in October 2022 as a year-long online mixed media course featuring new lessons each month

  • Every month was led by a different artist and included a "Make Fodder" session at the beginning of the month, followed by a "Use Fodder" lesson midway through the month

  • Although the live course has ended, the inspiring projects and timeless mixed media techniques continue to offer tremendous value to artists of all levels

What’s Included?

  • 12 "Make Fodder" and "Use Fodder" lessons taught by 12 unique artists

  • The Fodder Challenge, a month-long creative event featuring 10 additional quick mixed media collage art projects

  • Over 40 bonus lessons with additional techniques and inspiring twists on the primary lessons

  • Altogether, Fodder School 2 includes almost 60 hours of content that you can enjoy at whatever pace feels right for you
