The Repair Shop has brought this waste-conscious message to an even wider audience, cementing itself as a BBC classic of the likes of Antiques Roadshow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third book concentrates on the show’s much-loved experts, including woodworker and furniture restorer Will Kirk, clockmaker and mechanical wizard Steve Fletcher, silversmith Brenton West, saddler\/leatherworker Suzie Fletcher, upholsterer Sonnaz, and seamstresses Julie Tatchell \u0026amp; Amanda Middleditch – aka The Teddy Bear Ladies, with each sharing why they love their craft, followed by a narrative on two specific objects and their restoration journeys. These narratives  capture the ethos of the programme by being almost Aesop’s Fables-esque – e.g. The Woodworker and the Broken Toy Chest – with quotes from the recipients of restored objects dotted around. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the focus on the artisans themselves, readers will feel as though they’re stepping straight into the ‘workshop of dreams’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46647591633136,"sku":"9781914239649","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/9781914239649.jpg?v=1750281667","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/the-repair-shop","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
