BBC Joins Forces With V&A On Decorative Arts Season
BBC Four and the V&A have unveiled plans for Handmade In Britain, an exploration of the history of British decorative arts. The year-long project begins this autumn with a three-part series on British ceramics. Two films accompany the series; Treasures Of Chinese Porcelain and Britain’;s Most Fragile Treasure, presented by Dr Janina Ramirez.
From Autumn 2011 to Autumn 2012, Handmade In Britain will draw on the collections and expertise of the V&A, one of the world’;s greatest museums of art and design. The partnership furthers the BBC’;s commitment to building partnerships with the arts sector that go beyond broadcast, from sharing expertise to widening public engagement in UK arts.
Contributors to the programmes include V&A curators, collectors such as David Attenborough and contemporary practitioners including Grayson Perry and Edmund de Waal.
