Welcome!
I am so thrilled that you have decided to join me in this adventure!
I have tried to make this experience as participatory as possible. You can begin right now by collecting fragments from the lives and letters of your favorite poets and authors. Collect personal letters that you have kept because you found them so meaningful, and images that connect you to your past.
As the classes unfold, my hope is that we can share these with each other and inspire ourselves and our artwork.
I can’t wait to get started!
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to email me. And thank you!

Nuts & Bolts
Here’s how this online class works:
• As a self-study class, so you have access to all of the lessons right now and can work the lessons on your own timetable.
• You have indefinite access to this class.
• You can (optionally) share your work with Lendon via email or via the class Facebook page. Since this is now a self-study class, you will need to let Lendon know if you upload work, as she doesn’t check the Facebook page as regularly. Click this link and ask to join the group!
• Class fee is good for participants living in a single household.
