Did you hear the huge news from Margo Tantau?

In case you missed it, we recently had some HUGE (and hugely exciting) news from one of our brilliant teachers, fabulous trend queen and creative director, Margo Tantau.

Margo has now set up her own art agency, Tantau Studio – and not only has she already taken on some Make Art That Sells students for representation, but she’s actively looking for more! This means that when you take one of Margo’s classes, you’re getting your art directly in front of an agent who is looking for more artists to represent!

Lilla Rogers says: “Our community has just gotten an incredible gift. Margo Tantau—my dear friend, a brilliant creative director, the founder of the popular Windowsills Chats podcast, and my co-teacher at Make Art That Sells—has founded a brand new illustration agency, Tantau Studio! With decades of experience in the home decor and licensing industry, she brings her wealth of expertise to this exciting new venture.”

Margo will also be representing some of the artists – and Make Art That Sells students – who were represented by Lilla. Plus she’s snapped up some extra Make Art That Sells students who weren’t previously represented by Lilla too!

And there’s more! Lilla adds: “Check this out: We’re also delighted to announce that we will be once again offering her signature course, Creating Collections for Home Decor, coming in 2025. Margo and I will be offering a brand new trend board with a bonus live review, and she’ll be keeping an eye out for standout artists with the potential for representation.”

Lilla and Margo’s power-packed, gorgeous home décor course, Creating Collections for Home Décor, will run as a self-paced class in 2025. That means you get instant access as soon as you sign up, and will have full access to all the course materials until the end of January 2026, so you can complete it at a time and pace that suits you.

Have you already taken Creating Collections for Home Décor before? Sign up now and get access to ALL the previous stunning trend boards – wow!
