Carved Clay Sculptures

• Reality

Episode overview

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First to arrive is a delicately carved set of clay sculptures for the attention of ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsey. Owner Jackie treasures the figurines, lovingly crafted by her older brother Andrew who tragically died in an accident at the tender age of 18. Metal expert Dominic Chinea's knowledge is called upon to rejuvenate a vintage lawnmower that was retired for a newer model in the 1970s. Owner John arrives at the barn with the loyal workhorse that reminds him of his beloved grandfather. And leather expert Suzie Fletcher undertakes the repair of a treasured toy horse, handmade by a British soldier as he recovered in an Italian hospital during the Second World War. His daughter Ann is hoping Suzie can restore the horse named Garibaldi back to how it would have looked when her dad first made it.
