See Worksop glass artist Kathryn in Channel 4 series 'Narrow Escapes'
Worksop glass artist Kathryn Webley is to feature in five episodes of the Channel 4 series Narrow Escapes.
Kathryn works from her narrowboat floating studio The Pod on the Chesterfield Canal in Worksop, fashioning a range of canal-inspired fused glass while afloat.
Narrow Escapes will show her making bespoke boat windows, taking a boat trip from Worksop to Ranby, and hosting an open day at her gallery in Worksop’s Creative Village.
Kathryn’s episodes will be broadcast at 4pm from June 15 to 19, episodes 11-15 and will then be available to view on Channel 4’s streaming service.


She said: “I didn’t realise how unusual my working life afloat is, until I was being filmed!
"It was an exciting, but slightly scary experience.”
She continued: "What I’m hoping is that the programme encourages people to explore the Chesterfield Canal. It is a hidden gem.
"The Canal is beautiful and is home to huge variety of wildlife. It is easily accessible from Worksop, Retford and many villages along its route.”


One thing that is a definite about the filming, Kathryn notes, is that she’ll be ‘upstaged’ by her dogs.
If interested in finding out more about Kathryn’s work, she regularly has open days at her gallery, sells online and exhibits at events.
