About this episode
Get ready to be inspired by the founder of CraftyMonkies! From a successful TV career that suddenly came to a halt to a thriving retreat and online event business bringing crafters together, this educational event planner has found her niche. I am looking forward to this episode with Rachel Pierman of Crafty Monkies! Crafty Monkies features live interactive Zoom classes, a monthly VIP club, on-demand videos and in-person retreats in the UK and the USA. Rachel connects teachers from around the world with eager learners. She also launched her podcast "Breaking the Blocks" in February 2024, sharing stories of creatives who have used art to overcome challenges. On the podcast Rachel puts out a WISH to get her @breakingtheblocks Instagram page to 1000 followers so head on over there and help make her Christmas wish come true.
