Description
Don't miss the newest book from The Repair Shop, coming September 2025
Heartwarming, magical and uplifting
In today's throwaway culture, there's a counter movement growing that urges us to 'make do and mend'. The BBC's BAFTA Award-winning The Repair Shop has brought this waste-conscious message to an even wider audience, with its regular viewing figures of 7 million in the UK alone, cementing itself as a classic series in the vein of Antiques Roadshow.
This new book concentrates on the show's much-loved experts, including woodworker and furniture restorer Will Kirk, clock restorer Steve Fletcher, metalworker Dominic Chinea, silversmith Brenton West, leatherworker Suzie Fletcher, upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary, and seamstresses Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch—also known as The Teddy Bear Ladies.
Each of the experts shares their own stories and repairs, capturing in the process the magic and ethos of the barn. The book includes quotations and Q&As from the experts as well as insights from Jay Blades on some unique restoration collaborations.
With the focus on the experts themselves, readers will feel as though they're stepping straight into the 'workshop of dreams' and experiencing firsthand the magic of the barn.
