Building a Community

I’m not sure if you’ve been paying attention but I have been doing and announcing lots of new things over the last couple of months. I have a goal. That is to build a community. Lots of conversation. Lots of learning. Lots of fun. I have a vision in my head.

Yesterday’s newsletter talked about the next 3 things.

One of those things that will help build the community I have envisioned is Patreon. If you are unfamiliar with Patreon, it is a platform that allows artists (like me) to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or “patrons.” It allows artists to receive funding directly from their fans, or patrons, on a recurring basis or per work of art. It was founded in 2013 and now I’m joining.

You can check out all of the details on my Patreon Page. There are many levels of giving and there are rewards for each level. There will be spin alongs and weave alongs and live videos and live video question and answers and eventually I will have some online classes and there are things that my patrons will have access to that won’t be available anywhere else.

I hope you’ll join me there as I work on building this community that I am imagining and all of the great things that will happen as it grows.
