Mastercrafts with Monty Don
Don’t miss the March/April issue of craft&design with an exclusive behind-the-scenes feature about ‘Mastercrafts’, the exciting new TV series starting on Friday 12th February at 9.00pm on BBC2. Presented by Monty Don, Mastercrafts celebrates the nation's craftsmanship and the recent renaissance in traditional crafts.
A great admirer of British crafts, Monty Don tells craft&design readers in the March/April issue what he most enjoyed about working on the series, his views about the role of traditional craft skills in the modern world and what inspires him creatively.
Each week on Mastercrafts, three hopefuls have the chance to study under some of the country's leading master craftsmen and women working in Weaving, Thatching, Stone Masonry, Woodcraft, Blacksmithing and Glass.
The aim is for the trainees to reach a standard of craftsmanship that will equip them with the practical knowledge and skills to give them a head start in their chosen craft. Monty charts the students' progress during their training and explores the fascinating and often forgotten history of each craft. Mastercrafts aims to put traditional crafts firmly back on the map in modern Britain.
