    anyone remember this? It looked like it was from the 70s or early 80s. It used to be repeated on RTE a few years ago (maybe 03/04)

    It was a show that used to focus on people making things by hand, kind of just a working day in the life of. I remember one episode there was an old guy making hurleys by hand, another was someone making baskets, another was someone making sculptures of birds. There was very little speaking in it except for the banter between the people it focused on. Sounds like a boring show I know but I loved it........for some reason I'm thinking it was called Patterns, am I right? Anyone else remember it?

    The name of the program was 'Hands' i think, there may other threads on boards regarding this program and there are a few of the them on youtube.Hope this helps.

    Hands was about a lot of Irish crafts but I think it was narrated. It would be good to see it again.

    Hands was a great programme, it showed so many old crafts that have died out.
