BBC TWO's 'The Victorian House of Arts & Crafts' is now on DVD

You can now re-watch the BBC TWO four part TV series, ‘The Victorian House of Arts & Crafts’, on DVD by purchasing it on amazon. See modern day crafters product designer Ilsa Parry, silver smith Bryony Knox, embroiderer Niamh Wimperis , ceramist Stephen Winstanley , cabinet maker Abdollah Nafisi and sword maker Rod Hughes go back in time to the 1800’s.

“Mixing exquisite design and stunning art with a dash of radical idealism, The Victorian House of Arts & Crafts is a living history series from the makers of Victorian Farm that celebrates one of the UK’s greatest art and design movements.

In a timely social experiment, six modern day craftspeople are sent back in time to live in a remote country house where they immerse themselves in the idealistic dreams of Arts and Crafts visionaries William Morris, John Ruskin and Gertrude Jekyll. Cut off from modern life, they forego technology to lovingly breathe new life into the property by decorating and furnishing four key rooms, with everything made by hand from scratch. But will 21st century sensibilities crumble under the reality and pressures of 19th century life?”

Thank you to the support of fans

How many times did I cry during tonight’s #victorianhouseofartsandcrafts? Seven times! Such lovely folk being lovely to each other in lovely surroundings to achieve lovely things. Don’t make them leave! Or at least bring them back once a year.
