Hey there, amazing creative...
I'M MARGO TANTAU, PERSONALLY INVITING YOU TO JOIN THE FOUNDRY. A UNIQUEÂ CREATIVE MEMBERSHIP CURATED PRECISELY FOR YOU.

You are a designer, artist, crafter, maker, painter, do-er. You are someone who dreams, explores, and innovates! You are passionate, curious, and deliciously unconventional.
What matters is that you see the world differently—always exploring, always dreaming up something new. You're changing the world one paint stroke, baked pie, sketch, print, and stitch at a time—and I'm here for it!
I've spent countless hours working in my own studio, testing the waters of creative success... and I'm excited to share what I believe will become your favorite creative space online.
Think of The Foundry as your creative home base.
- A special place where you'll find exactly what you need to grow.
- Lessons that feel like a familiar chat with a friend.
- Creative exercises that inspire and motivate.
- And a vibrant community of artists who get you.
Every month brings new opportunities to learn, create, and shine. All thoughtfully designed to help you bring those creative dreams to life.

I BELIEVE IN YOU
I’ve spent my life helping artists and creatives find their wings, now it’s YOUR TIME TO FLY!
It’s hard to find like-minded people sometimes. Those closest to us don’t always understand our creative spirit.
Along my personal journey, the thing that keeps me going is the creative friends I’ve met and shared thoughts, time, and experiences with. Inside the Foundry membership, you’ll find your trusted crew, people who support each other through excitements, concerns, wins, and challenges … cheering on each other’s growth.
We get you here.
This is exactly why I created the Foundry. This space is for YOU. Let’s grow together. Let’s support each other along the path.
