Description

The Repair Shop: LIFE in the BARN: the Inside Stories from the Experts In a world where waste is increasingly a concern, a growing movement is urging us to "make do and mend". The Repair Shop has been at the forefront of this movement, sharing its message with a wider audience and cementing its place as a beloved BBC programme. This third book delves into the world of the show's expert craftsmen, including woodworker and furniture restorer Will Kirk, clockmaker Steve Fletcher, and silversmith Brenton West, among others. Each of these artisans shares their passion for their craft, followed by the story of two specific objects and their restoration journeys. These narratives are reminiscent of Aesop's Fables, with quotes from the recipients of restored objects adding a personal touch. By focusing on the artisans themselves, readers will feel as though they're stepping into the "workshop of dreams". Through the stories of these skilled craftsmen, the book captures the essence of the programme, highlighting the value of preserving traditional skills and the joy of bringing new life to old objects.
