Craftland by James Fox

A celebration of Britain’s rich craft heritage and the enduring value of making by hand, Craftland by James Fox journeys across the country in search of the traditional skills and trades that have shaped our communities for generations. From the Scilly Isles to the Scottish Highlands, he visits the workshops of master craftspeople, meeting blacksmiths, wheelwrights, cutlers, coopers and makers whose knowledge and craftsmanship keep these age-old traditions alive.

Through their stories, the book explores our connection to the materials and objects that surround us, and the quiet importance of preserving the skills passed down through generations. Both a fascinating journey into Britain’s making traditions and a timely reminder of the value of working with our hands, it celebrates a more thoughtful, connected way of living.
