TORONTO – Blue Ant Media announced today its specialty channel Makeful TV will broadcast the Canadian premiere of the new six-part series Jay’s Yorkshire Workshop on Wednesday Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT during the channel’s free preview event.
The series stars Jay Blades (above; The Repair Shop), as he “embarks on a special project, opening the doors of his workshop in Bradford, England to three of the best fine furniture makers from across the region Saf Fakir, Isabelle Moore and Ciarán Ó Braonáin who create stunning designs each week from scratch,” a description in a press release reads.
“In every episode, members of the public nominate and reward local unsung heroes with a bespoke, handmade piece of wooden furniture to recognize the work they do for their community, often going above and beyond,” the release says.
“Making the personalized gifts with the experts are six passionate woodworkers from the surrounding area, who have all come to learn from the mentors they’re teamed with and working alongside. Each of them has a personal reason for participating and the series explores their lives while following how they go about creating the items, learning on the job and unlocking their potential.”
Jay’s Yorkshire Workshop is produced by Ricochet, which is part of Warner Bros. International Television Production UK. Kim Rossiter is the series producer and Emma Walsh and Robi Dutta are executive producers. The series is presented by Jay Blades.
Makeful TV will be available on free preview from Jan. 31 to April 3.
