SUMMARY:In Conversation with Barry Mundy - Master of the Withies
DESCRIPTION:A guided conversation between crab/lobster pot maker Barry Mundy and Storylines. \nBarry’s family have used the old net loft on the edge of Mullion Harbour for centuries with many of them mastering the skill of making withy pots for fishing.

Until that day he hadn’t made a pot for 7 years although up until 1960’s he made pots annually\, making over 200 pots each winter. Since filming he has since gone on to make new pots and now has a growing collection. You can see the film made by the students in our exhibition Withy Lore \nThis talk is part of Helston Makes It! a week-long annual celebration of makers and craft.
