Kirsten Ramsay The Repair Shop
While working at her conservation company, Kirst​en Ramsay Ceramic Conservation and Restoration, she was approached by the producers of The Repair Shop in 2017.
She loves her restoration work and has said in an interview: “I do work for the antiques trade and both museums, but I’ve always done work for individuals. And I’ve always had people that have bought things that have had huge sentimental value. Sometimes you might see the item and it’s sort of, you know, you’re not that excited about it. Then you hear the story behind it and everything in you just wants to get this piece back together for the owner.”
“To be honest, it just feels like an incredible privilege. Yeah, it does put the pressure on sometimes when you’ve heard the story. So I’d say in the main it just feels like a massive privilege. It’s not a burden.”
