Artisans of Australia (Captioned)

This video is an intimate view of traditional building and restoration techniques through the eyes of master craftsmen and women. It reveals rare skills which are fast disappearing in this rapidly changing world. The film has six sections each examining an individual craft: timbercraft, stonecraft, glasscraft, ironcraft, solid plastering and decorative paint work.
