FREE online art inspirations

Hi everyone - half way through September already. I just wanted to let you know that I have 2 weeks of school term left and then 2 weeks of holidays with a trip away for me so I will be combining September and October reviews at the end of October. In the meantime, there is always a flurry at this time of year of free events promoting year-long workshops.

A warning that these free events can be overwhelming with a heap of wonderful artists presenting offerings over a very short time. Just take a breath and pick a couple of artists that inspire you to learn from them. It is a good way to try out some options in case you are looking for a year-long experience but they will cost of course.

No free options for these ones but to put in the mix if you are considering something for next year : Wanderlust 2025 (begins January 2025) and Fodder School 4 (begins October 1 2024). I have participated in both in previous years - leave a comment if you want further thoughts or use my labels or search box to explore. Please note there is still a Fodder School Challenge event but it is no longer free, and it runs for a limited time. It is included with the Fodder School 4 purchase so don't sign up for both! 

Tam of Willowing is no longer doing Life Book. Instead she is doing A Year of Light and the free taster event is 16-24 September - sign up HERE.

Introducing GPS Kickoff! A free workshop for beginner gel plate users. Also a taster and starts 16 September. All the info HERE. Find out more about the main event at Drew Steinbrecher's Instagram. 

There's also Sketchbook Revival 2024 - sign up for the free event HERE. This workshop runs from September 23rd - October 7th, and remains available free until 19th October. You can also pay to join the main event.

And just because it's been recently uploaded, I wanted to share this cool technique on Youtube combining paper and stitch from Francisca Nunes - Paper netting. 

Hope something there to spark inspiration for you.
