Artist Alley Showcase
Meet our 2025 Artists at the Blacksmiths Festivals inaugural Artists Alley!
We're thrilled to introduce a curated lineup of talented blacksmiths and metal artists who will be featured in our exclusive Artists Alley at this year’s Blacksmiths Festival. Over two vibrant days—May 17 & 18, 2025—festival-goers will have the chance to connect with a rotating showcase of artists.
This is a special opportunity for these makers to display their artistry, share their creative journey, and offer their work for sale in a dynamic and inspiring setting. Whether you're a collector, a fellow maker, or simply curious, Artists Alley is where raw metal meets refined artistry. Come discover the talent, passion, and stories behind the forge.
All proceeds from sales go directly to the artists—support local talent and take home a piece of handcrafted brilliance.
More artists announced soon—stay tuned!
Adi Benarroch is a Naarm-based artist whose sculptural jewellery practice is deeply inspired by honouring the natural qualities of materials and the use of ancient sand-casting techniques and traditional methods.
Each piece emerges from a hands-on, exploratory process that captures the raw beauty and character of the materials, reflecting a profound engagement with their inherent qualities.
I am the lightsmith from South Australia and I’m an electrician, Blacksmith and metal fanatic. My passion is combining all three to bring you this range of extra heavy-duty lighting. My pieces are all made from very old farm machinery and recycled steel.
If you don’t find Daniela Lucchetti Guerrera at home baaing back to the sheep while she hammers away in her Sidhe (shee) Shed creating custom commissions, you’re likely to spot the Mistress of the Forge at a medieval fair. There, she can be seen heaving the bellows of the ship’s forge she meticulously rebuilt, ensuring the coke remains HOT for captivating demonstrations and eager customers.
Over the past five years, Daniela has had the privilege of working with many generous and skilled mentors, allowing her to blend traditional and modern blacksmithing techniques. Today, she operates as a freelance artisan, crafting unique, finely detailed pieces that marry beauty with practicality. With a strong commitment to sustainability, Daniela repurposes steel whenever possible, transforming it into functional works of art that not only serve a purpose but also tell a story. Whether she's shaping decorative objects or practical tools, each piece reflects her passion and dedication to the craft.
