In this heartwarming episode, I chat with the ever-inspiring Bea Byrne, a multi-talented maker, UV resin expert, quilting community builder, and art educator. We explore how Bea blends curiosity with confidence, how she encourages others to embrace their own creativity, and why community-based learning is at the heart of her teaching practice.

We dive into her free Quilt n Learn Summit, UV resin kits for beginners, and what it’s like to teach hands-on classes in San Francisco. Whether you're a quilter, crafter, or simply resin-curious, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical ideas for your next creative project.
