Episode overview
Moistened leather is moulded, carved, dried and coloured to create detailed three-dimensional sculptures. Compact heating elements, thermostats and insulated housings are assembled into travel hot plates; naturally coloured earth is extracted, cleaned and ground into ochre pigment; and wooden bodies, strings, keys and rosined wheels are combined into hurdy-gurdies.
