  • Interview with Barb Smucker

You are two dynamic women! I did not want the discussion to end. Barb, I was inspired by your journey and all that you offer for your community. I have long loved the artistic creativity and the soft feel of the age old making of quilts. Wrapping myself in a hand created quilt was like a giant hug. I tried cutting and ... more

  • The on-going rant

    Wendy is a pretty good interviewer and I love getting to know other artist stories. But SOOOO tired of Wendy ranting about Instagram and algorithm changes. Girl change happens. Adjust.

  • You lost me when you dissed YouTube

    You obviously have not seen the millions of artists on the Youtube community.

    Not EVERYTHING is on Instagram and many artists are leaving it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Emma Hudson on Showing Up Daily, Fodder School, and Art as Purpose
Q: How has Fodder School changed your approach to materials and making?
It reinforced a playful, experimental mindset, helped use found papers and handmade collage materials, and made the process of creating accessible and communal rather than solitary.
Emma Hudson on Showing Up Daily, Fodder School, and Art as Purpose
Q: What sparked your decision to start posting daily and join Fodder School?
A friend encouraged participation and posting daily became a way to push through hesitation; over time the act of showing up, not the perfection of the work, became the core benefit and fuel for her practice.
Cathy Watson: From Scrapbooking to Mixed Media in Fodder School’s Global Community
Q: What sparked Cathy's transition from scrapbooking to mixed-media?
She describes how the introduction of mixed-media looks into scrapbooking, influenced by a Polish designer living in Ireland and local teachers, nudged her toward texture, gel medium, and canvases, ultimately steering her away from traditional scrapbooking to a more painterly, layered approach.
Lisa Goddard on Art Journaling as a Lifeline, Mixed Media Layers, and Building a Sustainable Creative Life
Q: What does a typical art journaling session look like for you, and what keeps you going daily?
She describes starting with collage to break the blank page, using gesso and marks, and maintaining a daily practice across multiple journals to stay connected to her process and mood.
Lisa Goddard on Art Journaling as a Lifeline, Mixed Media Layers, and Building a Sustainable Creative Life
Q: Tell me when in your life you became a mixed media artist.
Lisa explains that after finishing a fine art degree she felt directionless when facilities were no longer accessible; discovering mixed media hooked her, and she gradually built a practice from 2006 onward.
