Michelle Gauntlett
2025 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge Finalist
Artist Statement | So excited to learn of the Craft Challenge living here on the West coast. Being a part of something that stimulates my own practice whilst also generating new connections was an opportunity too good to miss.
Always looking for new ways, ideas, materials and techniques. I like to ‘draw’ my ideas in copper. In this ‘happy place’ hammering metal I stayed ‘on track’ in terms of materials and now having an abundant supply of repurposed copper I allowed myself to explore techniques and push boundaries as I worked through the daily word prompts. I work organically and sometimes found myself working on three pieces at time.
