Book Description
Crafted in Britain is a celebration of Britain's traditional crafts and industries that have survived into the modern world, not as museums but on their merits. In an age of increasing automation and standardisation, it is a joy to find such places, where craftsmanship and personal skills are still valued. Their world is recreated in Rob Scott's dramatic photographs, while the processes and history of the different industries is described in the accompanying text by Anthony Burton. They have travelled the country from the Spey valley in Scotland, where they recorded the workers in a traditional distillery and a cooperage, to Cornwall and the studio of a specialist pub sign painter. They have gone underground with a Free Miner of the Forest of Dean and seen molten metal being poured to create majestic church bells. The book delights in the variety and individuality of the different industries. For both author and photographer it has been a revelation to see some of these processes at work: to watch a craftsman take a strip of silver and work it by hand into a spoon, or to find clocks being made in a workshop that looks as if it has scarcely changed for a hundred years. Now readers have the opportunity to share these experiences and delight in the discovery of these magnificent survivors.

Book Description
Hand-Made Television explores the ongoing enchantment of many of the much-loved stop-frame children's television programmes of 1960s and 1970s Britain. The first academic work to analyse programmes such as Pogles' Wood (1966), Clangers (1969), Bagpuss (1974) (Smallfilms) and Gordon Murray's Camberwick Green (1966), Trumpton (1967) and Chigley (1969), the book connects these series to their social and historical contexts while providing in-depth analyses of their themes and hand-made aesthetics. Hand-Made Television shows that the appeal of these programmes is rooted not only in their participatory address and evocation of a pastoral English past, but also in the connection of their stop-frame aesthetics to the actions of childhood play. This book makes a significant contribution to both Animation Studies and Television Studies; combining scholarly rigour with an accessible style, it is suitable for scholars as well as fans of these iconic British children's programmes.

Book Description
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. Coracle boat making is alive and well in Shropshire and Wales, but for how much longer? Meanwhile the death of cricket ball making in the UK reveals how serious the situation is. With the help of Heritage Crafts, the national charity set up to celebrate, support and safeguard traditional craft skills, the duo learn of the vital need to encourage younger generations into the sector and connect with diverse communities, to ignite a Craft Renaissance for all and in turn create a paradigm shift with people valuing the real and handmade over the artificial. With a Foreword by British potter and ceramic designer, Keith Brymer Jones, a keen advocate and educator in the crafts field, and photography by Charlies Sainsbury-Plaice - generously supported by luxury jewellers 886 by The Royal Mint, who champion traditional craftmanship, Made in Britain marks the start of a new Arts and Crafts movement for the 21st century.
