A course by Rachael, Made by Maeberry
Whether it was sewing, painting, sketching, or visiting museums with her father, Rachael has been a lover of arts and crafts since she can remember. Although her professional background is in social work, Rachael made sure she always had time to explore her creativity. When she began working with polymer clay it was instantly clear, she had found her medium for expression.
What started as a passionate side project gradually developed into her full-time dream job. As the successful owner and maker at Made by Maeberry for over ten years, Rachael is renowned for her high-quality pieces and fun color palettes.
