There is a great new programme just started on Channel 4 on a tuesday evening called Craft it yourself. The presenters are Clemency Green, Ant Anstead and Robin Johnson. Each week they do a makeover of a room in a house showing easy ways of transforming the room.
The first was a much unloved & unused dining room and they chose a Cuban feel which was both relaxed and very useable. They show ideas of how to make things with a rating from 1 to 10 as to how hard it should be and also give a timescale for each project.
Also included is several easy quick ideas which are fun, then there is a section where one of the three will try a new craft. This week Clemency tried blacksmithing and made a kitchen knife! Courses can be found throughout the UK and range from £200.00. All in all it was a very enjoyable watch and there are 6 in this series. As a retailer of Craft & Hobby tools we found it very interesting at pagesoftools.co.uk I hope you will tune in and perhaps be inspired to start your own projects.
