#Fodder School

✨ #fodderchallenge2025 — Food for the soul! Tried the “mid-century motif” lesson by @soozrossiter @fodder.school, inspired by Orla Kiely. Evenings were spent cutting and gluing bits into #ATCs. No Ampersand tiles? No problem — I used chipboards from my stash, primed with gesso and buff titanium paint for a warm touch. 🌸✂️ . . . #FodderChallenge2025 #FodderSchool5 #FodderSchool #FodderChallenge #FC2025 #F5 #MixedMediaArt #CollageFodder #collageart #Papercraft #EphemeraLove #ATCCommunity #ArtSwap #CreativeCommunity #ArtIsPlay #CreativeJourney

🎉 It’s official! Please join me in welcoming the incredibly talented Kate McCurrach @macurack as one of our Fodder School 5 teachers! 🎨💌 Kate McCurrach has been a beloved member of the Fodder School community for years — constantly inspiring us with her thoughtful, layered, deeply personal artwork. She’s a self-taught mixed media artist based in Kamloops, BC, Canada, with a passion for storytelling through collage, salvaged paper, and unexpected materials. After a creative life filled with science-themed crafts, sewing, painting, and raising her kids through serious life challenges, Kate found her way back to art for her own mental health and healing. And when she found Fodder School… she was all in. ❤️ In Fodder School 5, Kate will be guiding us through our much-loved annual mail art swap — a month full of connection, colorful postcards, and meaningful handmade pieces. But first… you’ll get to learn from her during Fodder Challenge 2025, where she’ll teach us how to make magnetic bookmarks from our favorite collage fodder. YES. PLEASE. 🔖🧲 Kate is the perfect mix of creativity, curiosity, and heartfelt authenticity — and we are SO lucky to have her on this year’s teaching team! 👇 Sign up for Fodder Challenge 2025 (it’s only $27 USD right now!) or Fodder School 5 through the link in my bio and get ready to create with Kate and all our amazing instructors!

I had so much fun creating these color-coordinated, magnetic bookmarks in today’s Fodder Challenge class taught by my fellow @fodder.school teacher @kate.mccurrach !

What do you think is my favourite food? Guess your teacher’s favs🩷🍱 В конце занятия по теме “Food” у меня неожиданно осталось три свободные минуты, пришлось импровизировать - и вот такое простое, но веселое и полезное активити получилось👍🏻 Как оказалось, детям очень интересно узнавать больше о своем преподавателе 🩷 #englishteacher #teachersofinstagram #teaching #englishgames #teachergram #english #english #englishgames #teacher #английскийдлядетей #английский #учительанглийского #студияанглийского #уроки #foodanddrinks

What nobody tells you about school food? It’s changing. School kitchen teams are baking bread, growing herbs and cooking from scratch. Every single lunchtime. For hundreds of kids. Better is possible and school kitchens up and down the country are proving it.

Guiding students to understand food packet information” child eats this daily… but do they understand it?” “Today, they learned what’s inside their favourite food packets.”
