Agreed - it featured three different craftspeople, making three different products, so time was really short. Plus the hostess of the show seems more interested in making the segments about her and her interaction with the artists than about the artists themselves, at least IMO. It's good for satisfying mild curiosity, but not much more - example - at the end of the Henderson segment, there's the last few bars of a jam session song, with her pretending to play bass. When it was done, the camera is on her, jumping up and down and shouting, "I did it! I did it!" That should pretty much tell you what the show's really about.
