Episode 10 of 15

Jay Blades and Will Kirk restore a 100-year-old Nordic rocking chair and Guillaume Pons and Kirsten Ramsay take on an engraved seashell and an unusual ceramic bulldog.

Today in the repair shop, some of the country's leading crafts people bring treasured possessions back to life.

Furniture restorers Jay Blades and Will Kirk work together on a 100-year-old Nordic rocking chair that owner Nina Tucknott's grandparents were given on their wedding day.

And ceramics restorers Guillaume Pons and Kirsten Ramsay take on two very different pieces - an engraved mother of pearl seashell from Brazil and an unusual ceramic bulldog named Sweetpea, whose face has been shattered.
