Book Description: Makes the case for working with your hands with key research; Investigates the cognitive benefits of craft in life-long learning; Foreword by Jay Blades MBE
About the Author: Foreword by Jay Blades MBE: Jay is dyslexic and, after leaving school at 15 with no qualifications, he eventually managed to get back on track studying for a degree in criminology and philosophy at Buckinghamshire New University (BNU). He then found his true vocation in restoration and supporting young and vulnerable people to find their own access to work. Known across the UK as the host of BBC One's extraordinarily successful 'The Repair Shop', it is perhaps no coincidence that his belief in the restoration of objects stems from a belief that humans too can be repaired, fixed and rejuvenated. He is the living embodiment of that. His restoration company, Jay & Co, aims to 'save the world' through craft. Working with recycled, reclaimed and reused materials, accessories, furniture, and fabric, they create pieces that are as good as new, and help develop a more holistic approach to interiors.
