Flog It's Paul Martin visits Glass Cone

Cameras were rolling at a West Midlands tourist attraction as television presenter Paul Martin tried his hand at glassblowing for his new series.

The star, best known for his role fronting antiques programme Flog It, paid a visit to Wordsley's Red House Glass Cone to learn more about the area's glass heritage.

His new show, called Paul's Martin's Handmade Revolution, has seen him travel around the country having a go at various crafts and skills ranging from weaving to wood turning.

The 53-year-old was shown the ropes by the cone's resident glass artist Charlotte Hughes-Martin and made his own glass bowl.

Mr Martin said: "Stourbridge is steeped in glassmaking history and that was the reason for my visit. I have enjoyed learning about its past and the industry."

The new 10-part series is scheduled be aired on BBC2 during the autumn months.
