Plonk yourself down in front of the TV for the next few six weeks and learn a bit about some of the more hardcore crafts from someone else's hard work. Tonight sees the first episode of the BBC's Mastercraft series and it promises to be very interesting.
Hosted by the green-fingered Monty Don, Aunty Beeb has taken your everyday crafty folks and sent them to learn traditional British crafts from the masters in their field. They look at woodcraft, thatching, weaving, stone masonry, metalwork and glass making.
One of those crafty people is Momtaz Begum-Hossain, who we've featured on Crafty Crafty before. She undertook a two-month apprenticeship in weaving, and told us "It was hell!"
See Momtaz's episode later in the series on in early March. Tune in tonight at 9pm on BBC2 to watch the first episode.
