Margo is joined by self-taught polymer clay artist Rachael Skidmore.  Rachael’s passion for self-expression, penchant for artistic creativity, and dedication to hard work have been the foundation of her success as a small business owner for over 13 years.

She established MadebyMaeberry in Aug 2019 and has inspired large audiences through her social media presence online and delivered hands-on teaching by hosting intimate classes in person. 

 While she is widely recognized in the polymer clay community for producing high-quality pieces, her voice of genuine support for inclusivity is what makes her stand out as a creator. A curator of color with a knack for original design and tantalizing patterns, Rachael takes inspiration from all aspects of her life; from her passion for vintage clothing to her love for hiking in the mountains with her family. 

 

Margo and Rachael discuss: 

  • Her journey from social work to polymer clay creativity

  • Her mental health journey: therapy, medication, and living with ADHD

  • The importance of having people to lean on to aide in your success

  • How to scale when you like to work for yourself and by yourself

  • Finding harmony between creative work and family life

  • Risk taking and growing her audience

  • Her experience in publishing a book

  • And more
