This is a quick interview with Mary Hackett to learn some juicy tidbits about her in a short amount of time. Mary Hackett is a PhD candidate in Fine Arts at RMIT University which is the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. She is examining and mapping the physical forces involved in blacksmithing processes through sculptural practices. She is also a co-founder of Blacksmith Doris, a blacksmithing group just for women in Melbourne Australia ("Doris" is an old British slang expression for a plain woman). Blacksmith Doris has been operating as a “side” group that is part of the Australian Blacksmiths Association (the Victoria chapter) for the past five years and aims to give women a place to learn and practice blacksmithing in an all-female environment.
What Juicy tidbits are they?
