From the Isles of Scilly to the Scottish Highlands, James Fox travels the length of Britain to seek out the country’s last great craftspeople.Stepping inside the workshops of black smiths and wheelwrights, cutlers and coopers, bellfounders and watchmakers, we glimpse not only our past but another way of life: one that is not yet lost and might still shape our future. For as long as there are humans, there will be craft. It is all around us, hiding in plain sight, animating even the most ordinary things.Fox shows that Britain is still a craft land, if only we have eyes to see it. Show more
