We are looking forward to bringing Real to Reel: The Craft Film Festival again to Australia in August 2019. The producers, the Crafts Council UK and Crafts magazine, will premiere the 2019 selection in London in May. Then, after screening in Western Australia, the reels will fly over the Nullarbor to various locations on tour.
Dates for the films as well as workshops and talks with eminent makers and craft experts will be advertised soon. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive notice of early bird tickets.
In July 2017, Maker & Smith was founded by Mary Ellen Cliff and Carola Akindele-Obe. Their primary objective was to fulfil their strong desire to elevate the professional craft industry in Western Australia. Maker & Smith operates on a volunteer basis and aims for self-sustainability without compromising standards. We rely on partnerships and pay fair fees to skilled artisans and designer-makers who participate in our programs.
Maker & Smith respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, including the Whadjuk, Pibelman, and Minang peoples of the Noongar nation. We recognise the importance of their culture and the ongoing contribution they make to the life of this region. We also recognise the significance of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional recognition and the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.
Always was, always will be.
