Fodder School Live is where creativity, connection and curiosity come together.

Born from the spirit of Fodder School, Fodder School Live brings the experience off the screen and into a shared creative space. It is a four-day gathering designed for artists, makers, and creative explorers who want to learn, experiment, and connect in person.

Over four inspiring days, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from talented instructors, explore new techniques and materials, and spend time making alongside a community of people who share your enthusiasm for creativity.

Fodder School Live is about community.

It’s about the conversations that happen around the table. The ideas that emerge when creative people work side by side. The unexpected discoveries, new friendships, and renewed energy that come from stepping away from everyday life and giving yourself dedicated time to make.

Whether you’ve been part of the Fodder School community for years or you’re joining us for the first time, you’ll find a welcoming environment where experimentation is encouraged and there is no pressure to create something perfect.

Four Days.
A Creative Community.
Endless Possibilities.

"Slow stitching my way home and feeling so grateful for my days of Fodder School Live and all the exceptional women I met and the stories from their lives that they shared. I can’t thank Heather and Elizabeth enough for the long days of prepping, planning and giving of themselves to make this space for all of us."

“Fodder School Live was so much more than a creative retreat. It was a few wonderful days of making, experimenting, laughing, learning, and connecting with people who simply get it. I came home inspired, energized, and already wishing I could do it all over again.”
