David Hobson
A ballet dancer who has her pointe shoes made in London by a bloke called Ron...an oboe player who stays up into the early hours of the morning making his reeds...a potter who just loves the feel of clay.
These are some of the people we'll meet in this series. Amanda Smith speaks with a range of visual and performing artists about an object or material that each of them considers to be essential to their art.
Unlike other artists featured in Tools Of The Trade, who've talked about an object or material crucial to their art, today's guest has nothing but himself.
The tenor David Hobson is well-known for his performances with Opera Australia. The tool of his trade? His larynx.
