Are You Ready to Enroll in Fodder School 3?

Can I use the Fodder School lesson content to inspire my YouTube or TikTok tutorial videos?


That's a hard no.


There's an endless amount of incredible art tutorial content in every year of Fodder School. For some creatives, it's tempting to want to use Fodder School as a well of inspiration for their own creative enterprise, YouTube channel, brand, etc.

Fodder School is 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! We love it when participants share their finished collage fodder and finished Fodder School projects in photos and videos on social media. Please tag @fodder.school, the teacher of the month, and use our hashtag.

But making how-to videos of yourself while creating from Fodder School lesson content or obviously inspired and derivative of Fodder School content, and then posting those tutorials on any free social media platform, will get you banned from Fodder School with no refund issued.

FAQs


  • 12 Fodder Challenge lessons were released in July 2023 as part of Fodder Challenge 2023.


  • When you purchase Fodder School 3, you receive lifetime access to both Fodder Challenge 2023 lessons and Fodder School 3 (12 months of Make Fodder + Use Fodder projects).


  • The regular price of Fodder School 3 (including Fodder Challenge 2023) is $237 USD +tax.


  • One year of Fodder School is valued at over $1600, so this is quite an incredible value for Mixed Media Art/Collage Art/Handmade Book Art courses!

What if I can't commit to doing all of the lessons?


There's so much goodness packed into one year of Fodder School that for some people, it can feel like they can't possibly do it all.

No worries! I don't know if anyone can do ALL of the lessons in one year of Fodder School (even I can't do that!)

Pick and choose what you want to do and what you can do-with zero worries. If life gets in the way, start an easier project in the lineup or go back to where you left off-it's totally up to you! That's the best part of having lifetime access once you're in.

Fodder School has value pricing (maybe even extreme value). You're getting a huge amount of awesome content for the money, but no one should let that stress them out about not keeping up or completing everything.

Do whatever you can and want to do. It's all good!
