Interview - Michelle Gauntlett - Silversmith

Michelle talks about being a Silversmith, what it takes, what it means and how you do it. My favourite quote of the episode is "Which sounded to me like some kind of magical fairytale world, and when I saw the video of where it was, I, I just thought, oh, it would be like a dream come true. And it came true.  I, um, was accepted to. Attend. And then I had to come up with the money to pay for the tutoring and the accommodation and you know, and plus leave my home for six months and my job and everything and still pay the bills. And so I am, I wrote for a creative development grant  and I got it. Nice. Which paid for.  My tuition workshop fees and my accommodation in the uk. So basically I just had to pay for airfares and food. It was amazing.
