AS SEEN ON BBC2 Mastercrafts by Tom Quinn is a major new exploration of traditional British craftsmanship, accompanying the prime time BBC2 TV series presented by Monty Don. The book & TV series celebrate all aspects of rural crafts including woodcraft, thatching, weaving, stone masonry, metalwork & glass making. Here is what Robin Wood, Chair of the Heritage Crafts Association, has said about the book
- There is a great interest in traditional crafts today, although many of these skills, which are part of our living heritage, remain undervalued & endangered. Mastercrafts shows the dedication that is needed to master these wonderful techniques. The book is more than just a record of the series, it digs deeper into the raw materials, skills, history & heritage of each craft, putting it into a wider context. Perhaps fitting for a book about crafts, the photography & design are beautiful & it was printed by an old established firm in the UK too. The BBC TV series Mastercrafts has given the opportunity for unskilled enthusiasts in six traditional crafts to learn intensively from a master. Following the crafts explored in the TV series, the Mastercrafts book tells the fascinating history of craftsmanship & describes how, despite modern materials & mass production techniques, highly skilled craftspeople continue to make exquisite crafted objects by h&. Showcases some of Britains leading master craftsmen & women & explains the techniques at the heart of their trades. Reveals the facinating history of British craftsmanship, inspiring interest & involvement in these valuable & rewarding crafts. Mastercrafts represents a major shift in attitudes towards h&-made, sustainable crafted products rather than cheap mass-produced items. This audio slide-show introduces the master craftsmen & women who act as mentors to the trainees in the television series.
