Silver in the City
' With a hammer and a tree trunk you've got all you need to be a silversmith.'
Encouraged by Michael Murray , men and women well into their 80s are learning a craft for the first time. Elderly beginners and raw apprentices get the same treatment from him and they love it.
His workshop is in the ' village ' of Clerkenwell, two steps from Smithfield Market, with a view of St Paul 's and the Barbican. Crafts-men have worked there since the Great Fire of London; now their workshop space is threatened by office blocks.
