The Wonderful World of Crafting

Britain is a nation of crafters. Eighteen million people in the UK enjoy a craft as a hobby. Many are so passionate that crafting is the main pleasure in their lives, and visiting Craft Fairs a highlight of their year. To show their creations at one of these is beyond their wildest dreams - but in this new series, they are given the opportunity of a lifetime to do just that, at Britain’s biggest and best Craft Fairs. Craft-loving presenter Michelle Ackerley (The One Show, Art Ninja) and leading craft entrepreneur Rosie Wolfenden (Founder of Tatty Devine) are on hand with help and guidance, as they follow passionate, colourful and inspiring hobby crafters on their journeys to the most important event of their lives. Each episode, Michelle and Rosie meet 3 different people and get to know their skills, obsessions, hopes and dreams. The programmes reveal the wonderful worlds of craft lovers who are absolutely passionate about their hobby, following them on the hunt for materials and inspiration in the unlikeliest places, and creating their special pieces for the Fair. Rosie and Michelle send them to meet people who are already living their dream crafting lives, and to develop their skills, learn sales tricks of the trade, and build their confidence. These are all ordinary people who love making original pieces, and are often unaware how talented and creative they are.
