OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, we're joined by Wendy Solganik, an artist, educator, and the founder of Willa Workshops. She is also the creator and host of Fodder School, an internationally recognized, year-long mixed media art program that has inspired thousands of artists around the world.
Wendy believes art is more than something beautiful to hang on a wall. It can help us relax, express ourselves, build resilience, and live with greater intention. Her invitation is simple: choose curiosity over perfection and rediscover the pleasure of making something with your hands.
Curiosity Over PerfectionWendy's warm, practical approach gives students permission to experiment, quiet the inner critic, and make room for play. The goal is not a perfect finished piece. It is a creative practice that brings more calm, connection, and joy into everyday life.
Fodder School & Creative CommunityThrough Fodder School, artists make painted papers, collage elements, handmade books, and mixed media projects alongside instructors from around the world. Through Willa Workshops, Wendy also collaborates with artists and educators to create engaging online classes and meaningful creative communities.
Whether she is teaching or hosting a conversation, Wendy's goal remains the same: to help creativity become a joyful, lifelong practice.
Until next time — peace, love and rebloom 🌸— Lori & Jamie
