When the drive to create takes a turn and propels the artistic compulsion into another direction. This episode features US based actor and now designer Darren Burrows revealing his inspiration, his history, and the balance between performance, life, and the art of design.

Discussing the phenomenon of an artist known for one talent, but now channelling that creative ability into a different but equally artistic practice, Tim Stackpool explores Darren's further craft: ornate and detailed metal engraving, and hand-crafted jewellery set with gems that are truly exquisite works of art. Some of the detail is so fine, it takes a microscope to create.
