The Tasmanian Copper and Metal Art Gallery is located at Carrick, northern Tasmania. The gallery features work by Tasmanian metal craftsman Mirek Marik. A range of hand-crafted items are on display, crafted from metals including copper, brass, steel and chrome. Each piece is produced on-site, and all are cut, shaped and coloured by hand. The gallery also includes paintings, sculptures, murals and jewellery. Opals, crystals and other semi-precious stones are on display. A number of gifted artists and craftspeople live and work in northern Tasmania.
