"I joined Tara in the factory when I was feeling overwhelmed and a little lost, struggling with working alone.
Being part of The Factory keeps me motivated and gives me the space to bounce business ideas, hear others share their experiences and get newfound direction or clarity on what I should be doing.
The factory has been a huge benefit to me personally!"

"The community is so supportive, there is always someone who is at the same stage as you, or having the same problem, and everyone is more than happy to share their knowledge and expertise.
Tara has the remarkable knack of reminding you just what is important, and where you need to place your focus when you are feeling overwhelmed and a bit lost."

"Before I joined the Factory I had nearly 20 years experience as a glass artist but little experience in running a business. That is where I was stuck.
The Factory has so many workshops in the library, I'm still working my way through them.
Tara is so incredibly passionate about helping all the members in The Factory succeed via Q &A sessions.
Would I recommend it ? I'd sing it from the roof tops, 100% yes."

"I recommend the Biscuit Factory to everyone who mentions they are trying or planning to sell their craft! Tara and the team are so amazing and I love being in this group.
The factory has so much to offer for example educational videos, several weekly calls, guest speakers, masterclasses etc.
I have been on plenty of courses and mentoring groups over the past few years, The Biscuit Factory is really special though. Its a great place to meet other creatives, ask questions and learn how to get our work out there, get it seen and make our dream livelihood a reality. "
