Every object tells a story... We all have treasures hidden away in
the attic, well-loved and well-worn belongings that have been
passed down from generation to generation. They may be damaged or
no longer working, but we can't bear to part with them. The expert
craftspeople of hit BBC series The Repair Shop are dedicated to
restoring and conserving these heirlooms. They know that the true
worth of these possessions doesn't lie in their monetary value, but
in the memories they hold and the stories they tell. In this
fascinating book, you'll step inside The Repair Shop's Workshop of
Dreams to explore some of the most moving family stories from the
hit BBC series. From a glamorous sequinned dress that belonged to a
popular travelling circus performer to a pump organ that was
brought from Jamaica by a member of the Windrush generation, each
family item is brought vividly to life - and lovingly restored by
the team of Repair Shop experts who also contribute to these
expanded stories. With a foreword by Jay Blades, Tales from the
Workshop of Dreams is a heartfelt love letter to our collective
past, and a fascinating slice of social history. This book features
items fixed by Repair Shop experts Steve Fletcher, Will Kirk, Lucia
Scalisi, Suzie Fletcher, Kirsten Ramsay, Dominic Chinea, Brenton
West, Tim Gunn, Sara Dennis, Chris Shaw, Matt Nickels, Amanda
Middleditch and Julie Tatchell. With great care and attention to
detail, the Repair Shop team resurrect priceless pieces of family
history and breathe new life into the stories they hold.
