Some gentle prep 😳 for my interview with the amazing author and art historian @jamesfox283 at Farnham Town Hall on Friday 9th October, a pop-up event for the @farnhamlitfest

We’ll be diving deep into his superb book, CRAFTLAND - a moving homage to a multitude of endangered, sometimes semi-covert, and always fascinating crafts and craftspeople that constitute the social, industrial and emotional fabric of the British Isles. Includes wheels bursting into flame, a bell being ritualistically blessed by a vicar while still molten metal, the high-jeopardy of precision watch-making and many, many instances of the sublimely unpredictable beauty of working with materials untameable by machine.

Come!

The magic of a town transformed by storytelling!

From the laughs shared with the hilarious Joel Dommett to the profound insights offered by political heavyweights Lord Heseltine, and Jeremy Hunt, the energy across every venue was electric.

We were honoured to host the brilliant BBC News presenter Reeta Chakrabarti, who shed light on the power of narrative in journalism, while the legendary Aardman animators brought a touch of cinematic wonder to the festivities. Beyond the big names, the heart of the festival beat in our various workshops, where local creators rolled up their sleeves to hone their craft and spark new ideas.

Thank you to all our wonderful guest speakers and every audience member who turned up or asked a question!

Special thank you to @farnhamofficial for organising the event every year and our sponsors @frensham_heights @farnham_bush_hotel @specsavers @moonflower_books
