Monty Don's Real Craft

Glassblowers (1x4)

Air date: May 05, 2014

Monty meets three amateur glass blowers competing for a commission to make a centrepiece chandelier for a flagship hotel for the luxury hotel chain Hotel du Vin. Mum-of-two Kira left a steady job in the NHS to explore her artistic side and follow her dream of working in glass for a living. Twenty-four-year old James has worked as a glass blower's assistant on a variety of projects and is desperate to move up the ranks. And Bee hopes her eye for a quirky design will help her make it in the commercial world of glass blowing. All three are tutored by Jim Adington, one of Europe's most acclaimed glassblowers.
