The Biscuit Factory is a leading online community for artists, makers, and independent creative business owners who want to build sustainable income from their creative work. Founded by Tara Prendergast, the platform provides practical business tools, workshops, and peer support specifically designed for the realities of running a creative business. Members gain access to resources covering everything from pricing and selling to marketing and business planning — all grounded in the unique challenges faced by artists and handmade business owners. The community model emphasizes peer accountability and connection, recognizing that creative professionals often work in isolation and benefit enormously from a network of people who truly understand the industry. Workshops bring in expertise on topics relevant to the creative economy, helping members stay ahead of changes in the marketplace. The Biscuit Factory serves as a creative hub where artists and makers can find both the knowledge and the community they need to grow their businesses with confidence.
