Hi there! It's Monday and start of something cool! While the School starts January 2020, you can already see a little sneak peek in the form of a challenge. This whole week there's a new video tutorial showing some fun technique using basic crafting supplies. But now I'm getting ahead of myself, let's first discuss Savvy Supply School or SSS! There's a lot of info in this post, so maybe make a cup of tea or coffee before you start!
What is Savvy Supply School, you ask. Well, would you like to be more inventive with your crafting, buy fewer supplies and use those supplies in various ways? Savvy Supply School is all about thinking outside the box with your crafting materials and using frugal, found and free resources in your creations! So this 12-week course is not about getting you to buy more but instead trying to make you see your already existing materials in a new way. While there's nothing wrong with buying new materials, have you noticed that some purchases are just left gathering dust? At least I find myself going to my "core" ingredients all the time and maybe leaving some others in the shelves.
Savvy Supply School course includes 26 amazing supply-savvy mixed media lessons from a variety of mixed media teachers. You can see them in the picture below! During the course these teachers use salvaged, recycled, natural, and household objects to make unique art pieces. The workshop will encourage you to work with what you have and use things you find around you to take your art to a more personal and unique place. You don't need special mediums or supplies for this workhop! The team has worked with the basics, so you only need a small kit of commonplace mixed media supplies to take this course! If you are excited already, you can purchase the workshop here (link).

Savvy Supply School is a guided learning programme, beginning on Friday 3rd January 2020 and running for 12 weeks. The course includes membership of an exclusive student-only Facebook group where you can meet your tutors, ask any questions about the lessons, and share your amazing art with like-minded people.
This course has a limited number of seats, to ensure each and every student can get individual attention and advice in our group. All this content plus mentoring in an exclusive group, lifetime access and downloadable content for all lessons, is just £55 - but it's even cheaper if you take advantage of the early bird offer! With the code RKSSS20 you'll get 20% off! The code is valid until November 30th. You can purchase the SSS here (link).
But while the SSS starts on January, you can already join the fun and get a sneak peek of something fun. Savvy Supply Challenge started today, on 11th November and will run five days. These videos are totally free! Between 11-15 November we, Mixed Up Creative will be bringing you five video tutorials where we share how to get more from your acrylic paints by using them alongside some common household materials!
Over the week, we'll will create five fabulous ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) - miniature creative words measuring 2.5 x3.5 inches. We’ve kept the processes simple and the designs small so that each class will only take you a few minutes, but if you’d rather create journal pages, tags, cards or anything else – go for it!
Here’s how the challenge will work:
* Each day from 11-15 November we will send you a new project via email and we will also post that project in our Facebook group, Mixed Up Creatives. Challenges will go live at 11 am UK time.
* Share your creations inspired by the challenge in our Facebook group – there will be an album for each day of the challenge.
* At the end of the challenge you can (optionally) swap your ATC cards with up to three other people in the Facebook group.
A challenge would not be complete without some prizes! One lucky participant picked at random will win a place on Savvy Supply School and a selection of fabulous mixed media supplies, from great brands like Golden and Caran d'ache! Plus our favourite entry will win a course of their choice to the value of £20!
The aim of the challenge is to show you some easy techniques that are inexpensive and fun to do. The challenge will give you a little taster of the philosophy behind our new Savvy Supply School, which is all about exploring frugal, found and free art supplies. This challenge is just to dip your toe – our course will have much more in-depth content but still using only commonplace mixed media supplies and plenty of imagination!
The first challenge is now open already, it's a fun, easy technique with just acrylic paints and water! You can see the technique from the Facebook group (link) or from the Mixed Up Creative Academy main Facebook page (link).
And don't forget to enroll early as places are limited! You can purchase your spot here (link) and remember to use the discount code RKSSS20 to get 20% off!
Thank you for stopping by today! A LOT of text in today's post, hopefully you managed to read it all!
