Engravings on the head of a pin

Graham Short joins John Gillmore to talk about his miniature engravings, so small they can't be seen with the naked eye.

Master craftsman Graham Short joins John Gillmore. Known for his miniature masterpieces Graham's desire to produce an engraving so small as to be illegible to the naked eye led to the making of his masterpiece The Lord's Prayer Engraved on the Head of a Gold Pin. The engraving can only be seen properly through a powerful microscope. Graham is visiting the county this week and will be chatting to Gilly about the physical and mental extremes he goes to for his art.
