There is a control freak in the group. These kinds of people may think they're being helpful (ego), but really are being disruptive and throwing off the balance of the original line of vision. An artist must always be careful not to compromise the integrity of their work. The focused vision of the end result must be understood by all involved in the creation. The old saying, "To many cooks in the kitchen, can ruin the stew," really is true. Each man and woman working on their own pieces, with given purameters, brought together a beautiful victorian room.
16:37 My husband and I have a garage full of really old tools. We buy them at garage sales for dirt cheap because no one wants them. Yet, they are superior. When a tornado knocked out the electric for 4 days in our area and nobody else had a drill or saw that would work without electricity, my husband and I got to work with hand tools! 😆 And Ilsa is being unreasonable expecting everybody else to hurry up when she finally decides the unifying design, The guy just needs to start his project without consideration for whatever she's doing. Otherwise he won't finish in time.
I guess they subcontract? 🤷🏻♀️ He can’t be everywhere at once. I don’t mind her, but if she’s going to wear that outfit, she needs to change her body language. It looks oddly incongruous. 😆
Without the industrial mills and mechanical machinery thereof, the luxury of the Arts & Craft movement could have never been realized. The poor cabinet maker in this episode trying to start with a log? Come on folks. They had mills to do that part before they began their crafting magic. Just saying...perhaps, I'm mistaken about what seems absurd.
With chairs with bent bits, you need to start with a log: this sort of chairs is always made green. But back in the day, someone else would have split the logs, a botcher would have prepared the green blanks on the shavehorse, and someone else would have turned them to a standard size before the Edwardian Abdullah took over. Nice to see how well he did everything all by himself, though!
Reviewing the subjects and the judges. Abbie is a precision perfectionist, craftsmanship is fully apparent, as Niece is weaving much more like a young girl in her Freshman year of school, inexperienced and seemingly flighty, not at all focused on a level of craftsmanship, rather focused on just doing and completing. (Not to be judgemental, rather than defining the behaviors), it almost appears as though this mismatch was staged. Abbie had a project that requires Time, particularly using the era tools that he has had no experience with. *(Pleased the outcome of weaving made a remarkable up surge.)* Luckily the Silver bowl project is a reasonable project, although it's perfection requires a true experienced Artist Silversmith. *(Her outcome did not surprise me.)* The Wallpaper is a dual project, at minimum, there's the design pattern, having to carve the elements in the block, in addition to painting it and then using it as a stamp, and ultimately several patterns to achieve the individual patterns and their individual colors. (That's a recipe of tasks) and one that would require confidence, Cooperation, and patience. This Artist exhibited an insecurity off the start, her comment reaction so early on indicated her inner fears and resistance to cooperative planning, as well as a diversion to taking advice or having a supervisory planner. (Team projects require a coordinator), and a responsible party to spearhead them inorder for it to be a team and to achieve a coordinated outcome, timely. *(I was more concerned about Elsa's emotional possibilities than her craft, pleased it was judged positively.)* *Angie had to have suffered stress of the required efforts and time to achieve his responsibilities, and I feel that project was seriously a unfair choice for the Judges to assign, it simply requires more than the time allowed.* Elsa continues to be insecure, she demonstrates an expectation of restrained, of lack, ie, her pre next show comment. *Do they intentionally put you 1 or 2 in every one of these type shows?*
I also am amazed at Abbie's skill, but I disagree with a couple of your critiques. The woman tasked with making the chair seat had no experience with that craft. She is an embroiderer, not a basket weaver. She had never worked in this medium before, unlike Abbie who is an experienced carpenter and the silversmith, who is also very experienced. So it's a little unfair to criticize her on this point. Elsa, the woman who made the wallpaper, was treated very rudely right from the start by the man who told her to shut up during the group meeting. Then he treated her like a subordinate and ordered her to get back to him once she figured things out so he could approve her plans. I'm glad she pushed back a little and it was apparent the others (at least the other women) disapproved of his behavior. He also implied that her task was trivial compared to what he would be doing, so she should just hurry it up so he could get on with his very important work. He is arrogant and resentful - his room is too small, the special project they assigned him to keep him from meddling would not get judged with the other projects, etc. I expect we'll see more of this boorish behavior from him.
Tried to enjoy this but the stupid "reality" show constructs of TIME IS RUNNING OUT and FIGHT EACH OTHER FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT just disgusted me. It should have focused on craft and collaboration, not on being Real Houseshrews of the Wye Valley. Meh.
The problem is they've hired supposed "experts" to do this stuff. If they would have hired a group of six year old hillbillies they would have had this project knocked out in two days. That was the whole point of the movement. William Morris wallpaper would not have hung in a diy home. The whole point of the movement was a backlash to purchasing on credit. It didn't take people a week to make a chair, wallpaper or anything else. Because they weren't imbeciles.
Well this is disappointing. I was hoping to see a documentary on how A&C items were created, a living history. Instead, I'm getting "Big Brother" in costume. Only minutes into the first program and I'm having to listen to a stupid argument and a bunch of attitude.
I learned that Morris owned an arsenic mine for his 'craft' factory and was willing to help people die using his bright green wall papers...interesting. Fabian Society to eliminate the unnecessary people? What we don't learn about certain individuals is astounding! The art school's lauded William Morris of the Arts & Craft's Movement and yet, it seems he was an elite like the ones who are trying to depopulate us today. I am an artist. (Good luck trying to compete with Chinese replicas). He never gave up making the poison wall paper but certain critical thinkers started to catch on and quit buying that brilliant arsenic produced green stuff after numerous deaths ensued over the years. Just like today. Awareness in the critical MASS! The sociopath creative ideologist killers do keep us on our toes but they seem to win their historical legacy superseding the truth. Vaccine anyone?
Have you been overdoing the green wall paper again? But I sort of agree with the sentiment: the Bolsheviks would have had this lot strung up in 5 minutes flat...
Episode 2: th-cam.com/video/fXZEvZ3Pd4Y/w-d-xo.html
Watching these talented artists create using traditional methods and tools is pure joy!
So glad the wallpaper lady listened to the chap about the salmon color. His idea made her a winner.
"This is Waldemar...." and that means it's going to be very good!
Absolutely
I love how most of them are fighting but that wood worker guy was just doing his own thing and getting things done. 😆
Really like the way the green in the wallpaper complimented the rushes in the chair seat. Beautifully done, top to bottom.
Totally enjoyed this episode! Hope the entire series will be available here. 🌷🤞🥳
Same!
Indeed, they're all amazing. Μπράβο τους!

Waldemar was at the beginning of the video.
Can you please let him do the ENTIRE presentation?
C'mon Perspective

@@melefth Thank you and Yes, true!
what abot the fire place and the candle holder we didnt get to see these?
I hope to see the rest of the episodes soon! William Morris is my artist hero when it comes to design.
Marvelous perspective ! More of this series please.
On the way
I liked the wallpaper also. But I don't think it was fair to choose just one piece.
This would be my ultimate dream to be able to do 🥰
this was very cool. i hope to see more episodes.

My sentiments exactly. What a stupid program!

we need that kind of color now.

26:28 omg the reality of it all 😆
Can someone help me out the correct name for this 'crsp?? silver hand-raised bowl'??
💚🙏🏻🕯
No music, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤟
Wow, what a great show!! In America, we have the trash Kardashians on tv 24/7. 😥
Already didn't like Elsa in the beginning. Lets see by the ending of the episode.

@Holly Lynn, you've obviously been sniffing too many of your materials.
And go get yourself vaccinated!
Host woman is annoying
I was wondering why her hair is such a mess right from the start. She doesn't look the part at all.
