James Fox – Craftland – A Journey Through Britain’s Lost Arts and Vanishing Trades

Historian and broadcaster James Fox, guides us through the lost and endangered crafts that shaped Britain. Always a craft land, for generations, what we made defined our families and communities. Through the stories of often humble-seeming objects of both exquisite beauty and utility, Fox shows us how craft connects us to the land, becoming the material expression of our regional identities and cultures. In encounters with some of the last remaining craftspeople at work today, Craftland reveals a richer and more connected way of living

an illustrated talk – Introduced by Malcolm Seal
