Blades also visited Dumfries House in Scotland with Kirsten Ramsay, Steve Fletcher and Will Kirk to learn about The Prince\u2019s Foundation\u2019s work to train the next generation of craftspeople and meet some of the students on the programme, who are learning blacksmithing, stonemasonry and wood carving skills.<\/p>\n
