Here is our Muswell Hill Creatives top ten of creative and inspiring listening/viewing during lockdown. We hope you enjoy them and would love to add to this list if you have any other recommendations. Please leave a comment at the end of the blog.

1. Grayson Perry's Art Club - Channel 4 - Monday nights at 8pm. This is cheerful, at times hilarious and generally heartwarming viewing.  

2. Something Rhymes with Purple with Susie Dent. Cecilia of By Cecil is enjoying listening to this podcast which explores the origins, meanings and insights into how and why we use the words we do.

3. The Great British Sewing Bee is back on our screens and has us hooked as they find this year's greatest British sewer.

4. The Instagram hashtag #isolationartschool is recommended by our artist Jo Angell. Jo says it's brilliant. Some professional artists and fun for the children too. Her favourites are the couple Susie and Anton. 

5. Michele, Wyckoff Smith Jewellery recommends the podcast How to Fail with Elizabeth Day. The podcast celebrates the things that haven’t gone right (can often be the case in the world of making!). Every week, a new interviewee explores what their failures taught them about how to succeed better.

6. Front Row Lockdown Culture with Mary Beard is also recommended by Michele as fascinating listening in these very strange times.

7.
How to Make on BBC Four is sees designer, maker and materials engineer Zoe Laughlin dismantle and dissect three classic items to understand the wonders of form, function and material that go into making them, before building her own truly bespoke versions, step by step.

8. Handmade in Japan also on BBC Four looks at traditional Japanese crafts and craftspeople. Check in with Rob Jones at Romor Designs who's teaching Japanese textile Boro and Sashiko techniques online over the coming weeks.

​9.
The Repair Shop is becoming a firm favourite and a great antidote to the throwaway culture we find ourselves living in. It throws a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country which are lovingly repaired by a team of experts. Our leather maker Steph Rubbo is a big fan.

10. Our glassmaker Samantha Sweet has been enjoying Blown Away on Netflix. She says it's lovely to watch the creative process and the technical challenges the makers face trying to make their concepts in blown glass.
