One of the main feature of Aussie Crafts is interviews with craftspeople about why and how they do their craft. These craftspeople are from all walks of life, with varying experience in their chosen activity ranging from beginners and hobbyists to those that made it their profession.

Some of the questions asked in our craft interviews are:

• What attracted you to your craft?
• Where do you look for inspiration?
• What are you working on now?
• Do you have a favourite piece?
• What was the most difficult piece you have created? Why?

We may also look at some of the basic steps that are taken in making something in their craft.

We are interested in hearing from anyone that would like to feature on the site. All you need is a way to be contacted (online messenger or email) and some photographs we can publish of your work.
If you sell your craftwork we can include contact details or address and again if you do not want contact details or even your real name online that is okay too. You can take this as a chance to display your work to the world, help others interested in your craft or even as a free sales tool.

If you are interested in being interviewed please fill out this form and we will contact you as soon as possible.
