DVD
Library of Traditional Textiles & Crafts
There
are no other dvds like these. Intended to provide a complete
and permanent record of surviving traditions and skills these
unique films show the processes in full, in detail and with
all the clarity and colour made possible by modern video cameras.
In many ways they are better than being there - pausing and
replaying the dvd gives the possibility of checking again
where the quickness of the hands has eluded or deceived the
eye.
All titles
available on DVD and Pal and NTSC Video

These videos have all been filmed
on location in countries where craft traditions still survive.
Made with the co-operation and assistance of the local people
the videos are not travel films but vital records of traditional
processes and techniques within the social, cultural and historical
context in which their skills have survived.
