The television craft magazine, presented by Sue Robinson.
Paper: a familiar but underrated medium, according to paper artist, Paul Johnson. He firmly believes that you don't need to be a genius to work wonders with paper, and his colourful creations exploring the extraordinary dimensions of this very ordinary material neatly prove the point. Meanwhile at the Shipley Art Gallery in Gateshead, Helen Joseph reveals the versatility of the art of quilting with an exhibition ranging from the severely traditional to the boldly experimental.
In the studio workshop, Bruce Robinson adds the final touches to his newly-bound book and Charlotte Gerlings completes her Edwardian family of miniature porcelain dolls. Designer MARK KEBBY
