The late painter, Lucian Freud once referred to himself as the passenger who knows where he wants to go and his printmaker as the driver who knows how to get him to his destination.

Scottee - himself an artist and performer, as well as broadcaster - takes a closer look at the relationship between artists and the makers who assist them and discovers the different 'language' required of materials, particularly in sculptural practice. Also, he looks to art history to question the idea of brand-building and the origins of the idea of the lone artistic genius.

With contributions from Sir Antony Gormley and his Foundry Manager Mick Booth, artist Christine Borland, glass-maker Jin Won Han, artist Thomas J Price, contemporary art historian Dr Danielle Child and curator Nabila Abdel Nabi.
