The
Abundant
Artisan
With Cathy Hay
Transform Your Craft Into a Thriving Business that Sustains Your Creative Spirit and Lifestyle
🌟 Calling All Creative Souls! 🌟
Tired of working away day after day, year after year toward someone else’s goals?
If so, then The Abundant Artisan may very well be for you.
Created by an artisan, for artisans, The Abundant Artisan is unlike any other “how to build a business” course available, anywhere. Cathy Hay has distilled 27 years of self-taught lessons into a LIVE, actionable course designed to shortcut your path to a profitable creative business.
This course isn’t just about turning your craft into another job.
It’s about the chance to create a life of freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment. Monday mornings CAN be as fun as Friday afternoons; you just need a few skills that you might not have considered before.
In the Abundant Artisan course we’ll create a shared environment where life and business are infused with possibility, belief in ourselves, and a shared vision for each other that’s bigger than we ever had for ourselves. It’s not just about surviving, but thriving – and doing so on your terms.
Starting or growing a business can be lonely.
If you’ve ever even considered it, you’ll be familiar with the voices in your head that tell you to play it safe. (It’s so easy to capitulate to a little late night imposter syndrome.) I’ve designed the Abundant Artisan environment especially to counteract that loneliness and doubt.
Let Me Ask You…
Any of This Sound Familiar?
- You’ve poured years of your life into your craft. You’ve dreamed of how fantastic it would be to live on your own timetable and generate your livelihood from your creativity.
- But moving from daydreaming to actually having your beloved craft form the basis of your work… it’s overwhelming.
- Maybe you’ve got great ideas but you simply don’t know where to start or what to do first?
- Or maybe you’ve got some traction, but you’ve been stopped by self-doubt, overwhelm, not enough time, or burnout.
Well, Fellow Creative…
That’s exactly why I created “The Abundant Artisan: Creative Business Blueprint,” a six week, step-by-step guided journey to take you from where you are now to actually making money from your craft!
In the decades I’ve spent as a creative entrepreneur, I’ve spent countless hours, made countless mistakes, and invested tens of thousands of dollars into learning the most effective ways to start and grow a creative business.
And I’m taking the fruit of all that experience, failure, and success, and giving you the very best to help you save years worth of trial and error and tap directly into what works.
How it works…
Join me live, twice a week, for our Zoom gatherings where I’ll teach the new lesson from the course, followed by a hearty Q&A and group coaching to clear any fog on the horizon. Yes, there will be worksheets – your trusty maps to guide you through!
If life’s tides keep you from joining live, it’s not an issue. Every single session will be safely harboured in your membership portal for you to revisit at your leisure.
And your journey between sessions? You’ll have clear, straightforward tasks to ensure you’re not just learning, but doing – because that’s where the real magic happens.
You’ll probably surprise yourself…
From the very first session, prepare to be lit up and excited. Even one simple shift in how you think about your business can make all the difference to the results you’re seeing – and it can do so remarkably fast.
Clare came into the course with a “meh” project that hadn’t got off the ground, and within a week or two she had an epiphany and remembered the craft that REALLY lit her up. That single insight changed everything, and the energy she felt by re-embracing her true passion gave her all the juice she needed to make her business work.
If you’ve been noodling on a business idea for years, but never got past the noodle stage, expect to have your path cleared to surge forward.
If you have an existing business, we’re going to get your head out of the details and into the bigger picture – and that powerful re-focus will give you the perspective to make the big, game changing shifts you hadn’t seen before.
Imagine what you could do…
I have many photos of the corsets, costumes, and wedding dresses I made for clients in the 1990s and 2000s. I’m proud of what I created, and the way those handmade clothes made my clients feel.
But I also remember my hands aching from cutting out homemade business cards with a pair of scissors. I remember the stress, the late nights, and the frustration of making only pocket money from all that effort, the soul sucking temporary office jobs I did to make ends meet, and the struggle to make it look like I knew what I was doing, when inside I felt like a fraud.
It was hard. I pretended that I loved it, and sometimes, I did. But there had to be a better way.
Contrast with today… My flourishing business is well known around the world, and people are interested and curious about what we can do for them. I look forward to Monday mornings as much as Saturday mornings, because I know the value we deliver and I believe in what’s possible through this work. I can choose my work hours according to my energy levels, live where I choose, travel if I want to, and take my work with me, while my team help me support our clients.
Raving fans are only too happy to pay us regularly for the value they feel they’re getting out of what we do, and I get to support creative people who work for the business in making their lives creative and fulfilling too.
Now your vision may not look exactly the same as mine, but nevertheless… I know you have a vision of what this could look like for you. And it can happen, just like mine did.
Meet your instructor…
Taught by yours truly, Cathy Hay!
Over the past 16 years, I’ve channeled my passion for historical dressmaking into creating Foundations Revealed: The Historical Sewing Academy. It’s been a journey of transforming my creative skills into a thriving business and sharing what I’ve learned with my fellow makers.
Starting from the ground up, I’ve built a business that sustains my love for creativity. Of course there have been obstacles along the way, but my experience stands as a testament: with the right mindset, skills, and strategy, your creative talents can indeed translate into a meaningful livelihood.
And while sewing still brings me joy, I feel a responsibility to help other creatives turn their passions into prosperity. With the wisdom gathered from 16 years of nurturing Foundations Revealed into a vibrant global community, I bring personalized insights on how to achieve both
This Actually Works. Here’s proof…
“Cathy helped me cut through the noise so I could hear myself and what I wanted to do. She helped me see a different path through the forest, and over the past five years I’ve been able to go from unhappy employee to six figure business owner.”

“Cathy’s ability to see people and the beauty in their struggles is a gift… [it] helps me to soldier on. The course was definitely a good thing for me because of how she pushed and inspired me, but it also was gentle in that she guided and didn’t run roughshod over us.”

I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative potential of this course – it’s a game-changer. But I want you to feel just as sure about it as I do. So here’s the deal: dive in, give it your all for 30 days, and if you’re not over the moon with the progress you’re making, just drop me a line. Show me you’ve put in the work because this journey is all about taking action. If it’s not the right fit, you’ll get every penny back. No hoops, no hassle.
This course isn’t for dabblers. It’s for the passionate, the committed, those ready to take their creative business to soaring heights.
A Warning
This course? It can be life changing, but it’s not magic. It’s for action-takers who know that anything worth doing is worth putting in the work.
It’s for the heart-and-soul creatives, the dedicated dreamers, the ones who are finally ready to craft their passion into a thriving business. If that’s you, then you’re in the right place.

If you are from a disadvantaged background or a traditionally marginalised community and you would like to apply for a scholarship for this course, please email [email protected] as quickly as possible, telling us why you’re a good fit for this course. A small number of scholarships will be granted to those in genuine need who are an excellent fit.
A Final Note
What society says is a safe, respectable life isn’t enough. It wasn’t for me.
Call me a rebel, but I didn’t want to spend my one wild and precious life working toward someone else’s dreams.
What society says is a reasonable working environment isn’t enough either. Not for me. Eight hours in a cubicle? Six hours on a restaurant floor? Count me out. The necessity of the paycheck wasn’t even going to sweeten the deal. My mental health said NOPE. I knew there had to be a better way.
I’ve been self-employed for twenty-seven years… because I had to be. I’m creative. I’m sensitive. Hell, I’m not quite sure I’m of *this* world at all *gestures around vaguely*. And I knew I couldn’t play the standard time-for-money game. It was never going to work.
So I had to figure out another way.
Not gonna lie, it took forever to figure it out. It took a lot of bumps and bruises, and even the odd embarrassing bail-out from the bank of Mum and Dad (thank you, privilege. That played its part in this story too).
A quarter of a century on, my business isn’t perfect. It still has holes you could drive a bus through. But you don’t have to get it perfect; you just need to get it going.
And after all those years of flailing about making mistakes and figuring it out, I feel a responsibility to share what I’ve learned to help others to seize the kind of freedom, joy, and satisfaction I’ve gradually developed – WITHOUT the 27 year learning curve.
I hope you’ll join us.
Love,
Cathy Hay
