Master Crafters: The Next Generation - Season 3

Season 3
Bill Bailey is back for another series celebrating traditional crafts. This third series of Master Crafters will delve into four more heritage crafts which are in danger of being lost if the next generation do not take them up; Blacksmithing, Letter Press Printing, Mosaics and stone carving. Bill joins twelve Junior Crafters, each of whom are starting their own heritage craft journey in their chosen fields, as they are given the opportunity of a lifetime to expand on their skills with bespoke masterclasses. Bill will also get crafty himself as he visits a wealth of Britain's cultural heritage sites to find out why it is so important that we keep these crafts alive.
