Craft and design-led creative practices are presently enjoying a zeitgeist moment of popularity, driven by consumer demand for unique, innovative and/or handmade objects. However despite the capacity to scale-up, craftspeople and designer makers continue to
challenge conventional capitalist ideas of what entrepreneurial ‘success’ looks like. Drawing upon data from a 4 year study of Australian designer makers, this article problematizes the growth and enterprise discourses at the heart of governmental desires
for the creative economy. It examines how the complex intersectionality of old understandings of artistic value and ‘doing what you love’, today mingle with ethical consumption values, climate crisis awareness, non-urban creative practice, the gendered exclusions
of the creative workforce, and human desires for ‘good work’ (Hesmondhalgh and Baker 2011), to present a more complex, socially embedded and potentially culturally transformative picture of the contemporary creative economy. One where the more than-capitalism
values of the arts and cultural industries persist.</p>
