What a partnership! I'm tuning into this. The V&A and BBC Four present Handmade in Britain, an ambitious year-long season exploring the history of British decorative arts.
The season begins with a three-part series on British
ceramics. From the history of domestic pottery to the heart of Britain’s
ceramic empire in Stoke-on-Trent to the studio potters of the 20th and
21st centuries, Ceramics: A Fragile History reveals why, throughout the nation’s history, makers have created objects that are beautiful as well as functional.
The V&A will run films alongside the programme, which will draw heavily on their collection and expertise.
