Blacksmithing (1x5)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 04, 2011

The focus this episode is on a heritage craft, using traditional metal work to forge designs in metal. The physically demanding environment combined with the complexities of fussing two pieces of metal together proved very taxing over the seven-day master class run by blacksmith Michael Budd. The Apprentices: Name: Ann Cronin Profession: Education Worker From: Ennis, Co. Clare Profile: Ann is certainly not afraid to get her hands dirty or break a nail.
