Keith Lemon and Anna Richardson host a brand new crafting TV series for Channel 4.
The Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft sees skilful competitors turn crafting on its head to create Prop-like, mic-drop craft of epic proportions.
Hosted by comedian and master crafter Keith Lemon alongside TV presenter Anna Richardson each episode sees innovative creatives from across the UK use their artistic talent to wow us with spectacular makes.
A teaser reads: “Filmed in a surreal factory set which has been taken over by craft, each episode features four fabulous crafters who must use their unique creative skill set, to stick, sew, hammer and craft their creations in to life.”
Each episode features two rounds: The first will see the crafters having to create a bespoke item in response to a fantastical brief from factory owner Keith. Quality control craft experts, Harriet Vine MBE and Zak Khchai, will deliberate and help Keith choose the three most impressive makes with the worst one being dramatically ‘recycled’.
In the second round, a celebrity guest will commission them to make the most fantastical creation of their lives before deciding which of the crafters will be declared the winner of the show.
