Willa Workshops:
Art for Fun and Flow State
PRINTABLES ARE HERE!
Hi, I'm Wendy.
You may know me as Willa from @willa.wanders on Instagram. I'm a lifelong prolific artist and crafter with a passion for paper arts, book making and anything mixed media.
Welcome to my Teachable School, Willa Workshops.
All of my mixed media art and handmade book courses are pre-recorded and available for immediate access. You can go at your own pace because you'll have lifetime access to any of my courses that you purchase.

What do I mean by
"Art for Fun and Flow State?"
I'm just going to get right to the point: I'm not creating art because I have a desire to show in a gallery of have my art on the wall of a museum. But I think that the reason that I create is as important as any other.
Life is messy and sometimes really hard. I just don't believe that there is a human on earth who hasn't had their fair share of challenge and trauma.
I create for a few reasons, but the one that is most important for me is the feeling of complete calm, freedom, peace and JOY that I experience during the act of creation.
CRAFTING IS SIMPLY THE MOST FUN THING THAT I DO FOR MYSELF.
I offer these online art courses to share my love of creation for the process and not the product. Does it hurt that the art that results is gorgeous (in my opinion, LOL!) and special? No. But that's not why I show up at my art table. I show up to feel the release.
I LOVE WHAT I MAKE
AND I WANT TO SHARE THE JOY OF THE PROCESSES WITH YOU.

Such unbelievable generosity and creativity, Wendy. I can't believe how much I love making these journals. I can't wait to see how they evolve as I make them more and more mine. This course is an absolute treasure trove of skills and inspiration. Thank you so much for all you put into it!!

Thank you so much Wendy for your kindness, generosity and wonderful teaching style. I cannot possibly choose a favourite part but I have been over each lesson multiple times now.
I have so many "treasures" collecting to go into journals and now family and friends collecting for me too.
It's been truly wonderful meeting you here as well as some of the other participants. I'm feeling utterly blessed and grateful.
Can't even begin to express my thanks.

Thank you I have enjoyed every single second of this course, learned sooo much and found a new interest in painting that I never thought I would be any good at. I am also going to start some collaging, and making paper books, all thanks to you! You have been an amazing teacher, so generous with your knowledge I cannot thank you enough
