Starting Before You're Ready: Evolving a Creative Practice and Building Creative Momentum with Bethany Andrews Nichols

Margo is joined by artist and founder behind Beenanza Design, Bethany Andrews Nichols. A returning friend of the show, Bethany shares how her creative practice has evolved over the past few years—expanding her Burlington, Vermont studio into a hub for block printing workshops and collaborations with brands like King Arthur Flour and Cabot Cheese, developing her new DIY printing kit Coverall, and launching a block-printed fabric line with Stash Fabrics. Along the way, she opens up about navigating feedback, balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and the persistence it takes to keep moving forward.

Margo and Bethany discuss:

• How Bethany's studio has evolved into a creative hub for workshops and collaborations

• Developing a DIY block printing kit

• Using feedback (even tough feedback) to refine ideas and keep creativity alive

• Building accountability and creative connections that move projects forward

• Balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and creative exploration

• Why starting before you're "ready" is often the best way forward
