Fodder School 3: Immersive Mixed Media Art Workshops
What is Fodder School 3?
Fodder School 3 was originally launched in October 2023 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

Fodder School FAQs
-
Fodder School is a year long program featuring 11 in-depth projects released monthly. In addition to these lessons, members receive the full Fodder Challenge and lifetime access to all course content.
The Fodder Challenge is a month-long creative event that happens in October each year featuring 11 quick projects, one from each instructor and is a great way to experience what Fodder School is like at a much lower cost. Unlike Fodder School, however, students only have access to the Fodder Challenge for a limited time.

That's a hard no.
There's an endless amount of incredible art tutorial content in every Willa Workshops course. For some creatives, it's tempting to want to use these videos as a well of inspiration for their own creative enterprise, YouTube channel, brand, etc.
Willa Workshops Courses are not sold with permission for anyone to use it in this way--specifically, as a source of inspiration for any one's free how-to social media tutorial content, whether that be on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or any other social media platform.
If you are a creative who loves to share your work with the world, that's wonderful! I love it when participants share their finished projects in photos and videos on social media. Please tag me @willa.wanders, I'd love to support you!
But making how-to videos of yourself while creating from the lesson content or obviously inspired and derivative of Willa Workshops course content, and then posting those tutorials on any free social media platform, will get you banned from Willa Workshops with no refund issued.
