Changing Australia: Glen Rundell and protecting rare trades
About this episode
Think about all the things you might use today - how much of it is mass produced, or wasn't built to last?
The industrial revolution has made blacksmiths, leather-workers and weavers an endangered species ...
Enter cop turned chair-maker Glen Rundell and his wife Lisa ... who decided to bring traditional artisans together to support their trades - and demonstrate their value.
Their creation - the Lost Trades Fair - has since attracted thousands of people each year ... helping to keep these crafts alive and inspiring future generations.
