A reminder to sign up for my free Patreon Show and Share Zoom Preview. Next Tuesday, May 13, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, I’m inviting you to join me for a Zoom meeting featuring the work of a few of my Patreon subscribers. I’ll be giving feedback and answering their questions live. You will be able to interact using the Chat feature, asking your own questions and offering comments and compliments on the fantastic fabric collage work they will be sharing this month.
My monthly Patreon Show and Share is a way I give back to my Patreon subscribers, who help support us by making monthly or annual donations. Primarily these funds go to offset the cost of producing and maintaining my blog, which turns ten years old this year. This resource of how-tos, student work, and inspirational posts is provided free to all. For more about why I use Patreon and how it works, click on the link below.

Daily Class Videos
Pre-recorded videos of daily class demonstrations on the process of fabric collage are yours to keep and review both before and long after our week together has ended.
One-on-One Feedback
The bulk of the day is taken up with one-on-one feedback. I use Zoom to annotate photos that you send to Tom throughout the day.
A Fabric Pack for Fabric Collage
I have been curating special 10-fabric collections—mailed to every Live Online student since the week-long classes began in 2021—colorful and helpful designs that may come in handy during the week, or to horde for a later project if not.
Pre-Class Meet and Greet
Meet your classmates in a pre-class Sunday evening social. This meeting also serves to further familiarize everyone with our Zoom classroom format.
Mid-Week After Class Social Hour and Show and Share
On a chosen evening after class, we kick back with beverage and food to relax and get to know our classmates better. Usually everyone sends us extra photos to share some of their past work in fabric.
Daily Walkthrough of Student Progress
At the end of each class day we go back and visit the beginning and ending photos of everyone’s subjects—oohing and aahing at the great progress and lessons learned as we worked together.
