Just thought I’d post this here for anyone interested in crafts, there is a new programme on BBC starting Fri 12th Feb. It’s called MasterCrafts, hosted by Monty Don. It’s covering traditional crafts - stone masonry, blacksmith, weaving, thatching, and a couple of other things.

One of the looms on the weaving programme belongs to a member of our Spinning and Weaving Guild grin  - it was on loan for the programme.

Here’s a link to the programme for anyone interested

Oh, this sounds interesting.  It was only a matter of time before TV reflected the growing crafts interest, I’ll try and remember to watch this!  smile

I too love Monty, he is just fab! Good to see him back after his ill health
