Description:

A film-based exhibition looking at ten individual craftspeople working in the countryside today.

For more than 50 years MERL has been recording and collecting rural crafts. In a recent update, the Museum has been making films of ten craftspeople to relate its collections to the contemporary countryside. This exhibition is about the project and about rural craftsmanship today.
