This video introduces Stuart Makin, a blacksmith based in Northamptonshire, who was commissioned by the Royal Armouries to create a sculpture inspired by the Staffordshire Hoard. The film, produced by Zsolt Sander of Mothership UK, explores Makin's blacksmithing practice, his sources of creative inspiration, his artistic process, and the construction of his final sculpture. While the "Warrior Treasures" exhibition is now closed, Makin's artwork is still on display at the Hall of Steel in Leeds.

This timelapse video showcases the conservation efforts on the 'Hall of Steel' at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. In January 2016, the exhibit was closed for a week to allow the conservation team to perform a deep clean of over 2,500 historical items. This meticulous work aims to maintain the 'Hall of Steel' as a prominent centerpiece of the museum.
