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.
Episode 15
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
First through the barn doors is a stoneware elephant purchased by a young British couple, Michel and Paul, when they lived in New Zealand. The couple immediately fell in love with the long-legged elephant, affectionately naming it Derrick. Tragically, Paul passed away unexpectedly from pneumonia, triggering Michel to return to the UK to be near family and friends. Of course, she brought their beloved elephant back home with her. But a fall from a mantlepiece left the ornament shattered into tiny pieces. Ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay has her work cut out to revive both Michel’s precious elephant and her memories.
Wood expert Will Kirk and master saddler Suzie Fletcher join forces to resurrect a dilapidated child’s rocking horse, built by a grandfather who never had the chance to repair it for his baby granddaughter. It is ravaged by woodworm, so Will needs to carve a new neck. Suzie not only manages to salvage its original tail but also creates a beautiful new saddle for little Tamsin to ride on.
And silversmith Brenton West undertakes the repair of an unusual trophy shaped like a boxing ring. Brothers Max and Joe Fallone are keen to honour their dad Ray by restoring this treasured timepiece, originally presented for his services to boxing.
