This summer (2018), film and production company - dsp will be filming a new TV series for BBC2 about British heritage industries and traditional crafts.

Skilled craftspeople in the following disciplines are being sought.

Blacksmithing, metalwork or silversmithing
Ceramics
Glassblowing
Shoemaking or leatherwork


"The series is part documentary and part living-history, telling the story of traditional British industries and crafts and the places that are renowned for them… think Staffordshire pottery, or Sheffield steel.

The programme makers are putting together a group of six skilled artisans, from those at the start of their careers, to those who are highly accomplished. If you are enthusiastic about learning the history of your craft, you will get the opportunity to learn from historic experts, and create a number of products, which represent the rich heritage of crafts in Britain"

This is a paid opportunity. For more details contact Kate O’Brien on 020 8222 4995 / kate.obrien@dsp.tv.
