Midlands - A Celestial Projector Is Brought Back to Life
In this episode, the experts lend their skills to a community project, hear the story behind a new treasure to be repaired and visit a local crafting hero.
Dom and Mark Stuckey are up in the Black Country, on the lookout for a big red bus. After being used as a mobile shelter by a homelessness charity for a few years, a leaking roof and outdated electrics have combined to keep it off the road. It's a huge fix to take on, in every sense, and the team will need all the help vintage vehicle restorer Mark Owen can provide if they're to get it back into service.
In Coventry, Pauline has a curious astrological artefact in need of some repair. It's a celestial projector, once owned by her husband, avid stargazer Alan. Now the light has stopped working, and many of the constellations have worn away, so a little Mark Stuckey magic will be required if it's to light up Pauline's life once again.
The siren call of another heritage craft to explore lures Will to a Victorian factory in Ironbridge Gorge. There, encaustic tile expert Chris Cox uses his own secret clay recipe to create hard-wearing works of decorative art that have seen him tasked with restoration work in some of the world's greatest historic buildings, including the Palace of Westminster. What can he teach his new apprentice Will, who is more used to carving wood than getting his hands dirty with pottery?
