Books, Manuscripts
Britain is a country of craftspeople, yet the nation's heritage crafts and traditional skills are dying out, with some close to extinction. From canal art in the Black Country to kilt making in Edinburgh, coopering in North Yorkshire and damask linen weaving in Northern Ireland, join Jay and Charlotte as they travel the length and breadth of the country, battling poor weather, Covid and Jay's insatiable need for sustenance, to talk to some of Britain's most inspirational artisans. Discover craftspeople such as heavy horse collar maker Terry Davis, who creates a bespoke collar for HRH Princess Anne's Suffolk Punch, and basket maker Jonathan Coate in Somerset who is already passing on his skills to three young apprentices. 'Made in Britain' marks the start of a new arts and crafts movement for the 21st century.
