Beginning Wednesday, June 25 2008 at 8pm, meet some truly unique Australian artisans in a brand new series
on our Passionate Apprentices.

In an idyllic valley in the shadow of Sleeping Beauty Mountain in southern Tasmania,
three men have spent decades mastering the ancient crafts of knife making, beekeeping and bread making.
Now each has found an apprentice and skills are being taught, secrets shared, and passions passed on
to a new generation.

Over these three episodes the links that bind an old-world community are revealed and offers an intimate portrait
of a close-knit group of inspiring people, who share a passion for perfection.

Episode three - The Bread Maker
Wednesday July 9, 8pm
John Glendinning makes some of the best bread in Tasmania. Taking his inspiration from some of the
earliest baking techniques, he uses ingredients like sprouted wheat and spelt flour. Every Saturday, along
with three of his five children, John rises before dawn and drives into Hobart to sell his loaves at an
outdoor market stall. Stock soon runs out. But John isn’t content to settle for what he can already do well.
With his fellow baker, Shannon, he builds a wood-fired oven, so that his bread can taste even better.
