BACKGROUND
OK now I can tell you what’s what now that little important detail is out of the way! I’m here on Patreon in 2025 thanks to an idea from a lovely geometry pal, who emailed me suggesting I try Patreon in Summer 2020… so very grateful to Robyn and those who jumped on board when I didn’t quite know what I was doing…
​
The Zoom chats were great, but I was itching to start drawing. So hence the draw-a-long zooms were born in 2021. This became the main benefit of my Patreon: a monthly practical 1.5- 2 hour live Zoom where we draw and chat and go off on tangents - “The Draw-Along zoom” This is always scaffolded by a step-by-step PDF guide and mid 2022 I added another live zoom where I most likely paint. “The paint-along zoom” is actually whatever is appropriate for the month’s pattern. So as I continue in 2025, I want to have an element of flexibility so the two zooms will usually be a Draw-a-long and Paint-a-long, sometimes for more complicated patterns it maybe a 2 part draw-a-long. I’m immensely proud of this package of benefits that so many have learnt from to create such beautiful patterns themselves!
In mid 2024, Patreon opened up free memberships. So finally in 2025 we will have 1 once a month free zoom for all free and paid members. It's called IGP 101 and it'll be a stand alone Zoom. offering practical guidance and structured content to help you learn and grow. At the same time, the sessions remain flexible, evolving with you as we progress through the year. All of this takes place in a relaxed, friendly, and fun environment.
​Each month I like to plan my in-person workshops & Patreon patterns altogether around one theme. I usually teach the same pattern on online via Patreon and at my in-person workshops. This is something that applies to the special ones who also can come to my in-person workshops, as if you join my Patreon there is often an overlap! I know a fair few of you who do so mega THANK YOU!! But also I just want to be realistic and open.
ZOOM SCHEDULE for 2025
The timing of this will be 10am, 2pm or 7pm (UK time) distributed evenly through the year so that every person in every location as a few times that are convenient for them if they wanted to attend the Zoom LIVE. They will be on a Friday, Satuday or Sunday! I am for 90 mins but sometimes go to 2 hours and a bit!​
Link to recording posted the following day.
These dates may change! But I will try to give plenty of notice.
