The art of microsculpture

Upload with Nina Das Gupta

Available for 18 days

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including: • The world's greatest micro-sculptor! Wolverhampton's Dr Willard Wigan MBE is on, talking us through the art of creating things in the eyes of needles, on the tops of grains of sand and even inside human hairs! • He's the podcaster proving horticulture is cool again! We speak to one of the growing voices of gardening - a real dig in to the outdoors courtesy of the Worcestershire host breathing new life in to raised beds, greenhouses and the noble allotment. • He started with a JVC camcorder from AOL and has since gone to pick up a billion views with his filming. And his latest is being released to over a thousand cinemas stateside! We catch up with Handsworth and Halesowen's Daniel Alexander, bringing out the scary side of Oz in a re-imagined sequel. • The creative spark reignited by a simple notepad: Get to know Warwickshire writer Bernice Baker, who opens up on re-finding that creative passion, and brings us a powerful piece to blow you away. • Plus the Staffordshire podcast going international and top tips for anyone picking up the mic for the first time, courtesy of Coventry's podcasting kingpin. Upload your work for a chance to get on the BBC.
