The Factory Next Door

Bonus Ep. Dumfries House. Inside the King's House of Makers


Listen Later

Thirty miles south of Glasgow, in the grounds of a country house, thousands of students visit every year to learn heritage skills such as stone masonry and stained glass making.

 

Dumfries House is home to The King’s Foundation, an educational charity set up by King Charles III.

 

For this special episode of The Factory Next Door, we take a tour of Dumfries House with the Foundation’s Head of Education, Dr Simon Sadinsky.

 

During our walk we consider the value of preserving heritage crafts, the importance of looking beyond our areas of specialist knowledge, and question whether our education system is too focused on learned expertise rather than practical experience.
