Enter a workshop filled with expert craftspeople, bringing loved pieces of family history and the memories they hold back to life. A heartwarming antidote to throwaway culture.
Season 9 - Episode 15
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
First to arrive at the barn is Vanessa Simonite, with what appears to be a piece of wood and a bag of bits, but once was a beautiful mosaic table made by hand by her late husband Jeremy. He loved bright colours and made this table in all the colours of the rainbow. He made it in secret as a present for Vanessa 18 months before he died. Years later, the mosaic tiles started to come lose, and in one unfortunate moment all came cascading off in one go. On hand to help repair this ultimate jigsaw puzzle is the barn’s ceramic expert Kirsten Ramsay with help from woodwork whizz Will Kirk.
The next challenge is for the Repair Shop’s book-binding specialist Chris Shaw. Mother and daughter Kathryn and Victoria Gethin have brought in a family heirloom from the very heart of their home – the kitchen. Victoria’s grandmother Ida’s handwritten recipe book contains the ingredients for many a special family occasion, from birthday cakes to Christmas buffets. But now the well-worn, stained pages are falling apart. Kathryn and Victoria are hoping Chris can rescue the recipes and memories they hold for future family events.
Finally, Selina Shaw and Iris Newell have brought in a nautical time piece that they hope horologist Steve Fletcher can make ship-shape once again. This art deco delight was bought by Iris’s father – a trawler skipper by trade – for his wife. He was usually careful with his money, so it was an extravagant present and was treasured by Iris’s mum. But it hasn’t worked for over 30 years, the mechanical model ship the clock displays no longer sails, and the changing colours of the ship’s seascape backdrop no longer change according to the time of day. Steve now represents their last hope of reviving this memory of Iris’s mother and father.
