About This Program

The programme titled Powder Horns/Hand‑Crafted Moulds/Pierogies/Inner Tubes is presented as an episode‑length feature that follows a single thematic thread. It falls under the umbrella of a programme that concentrates on the making of everyday and specialised objects, offering viewers a concise look at how each item comes into being. In its core, the episode walks the audience through the processes involved in producing four very different products: powder horns, hand‑crafted moulds, pierogies and inner tubes. By moving from one craft to the next, it highlights the distinct series of steps that turn raw material into a finished object, showing how each stage builds on the previous one to achieve a functional end result. The segment on powder horns outlines the sequence of preparation, shaping and finishing that defines their construction. The portion dealing with hand‑crafted moulds follows a comparable progression, tracing the transformation from basic components to a usable mould. The pierogi section mirrors this pattern, presenting the stages that take simple ingredients through to the completed dumpling. Finally, the inner‑tube portion details the series of operations that convert basic elements into a sealed, inflatable product. Throughout, the programme maintains a steady focus on the craftsmanship and procedural flow that unite these seemingly disparate items.
