As Front Row's Inspire season draws to a close, three artists unveil the artworks they were commissioned to create, and discuss the inspiration behind them.

Alison Brackenbury has written a poem based on her Great-Uncle; crime-writer Vaseem Khan, author of the Baby Ganesh Detective Agency novels, reads the first page of his new volume; and rapper and beatboxer Testament performs his new composition.

And for the Front Row presenters' challenge, Stig Abell has written his first sonnet, Samira Ahmed has been taught to draw a comic-book character, and John Wilson has painted his first watercolour. Tonight it's Kirsty Lang's turn at the potter's wheel.
