Angelina Bakalarou The Repair Shop
Paper conservator Angelina Bakalarou is an expert on The Repair Shop. She joined the Repair Shop team of experts in January 2023. She made her debut on the BBC1 show on Thursday 19 January 2023 (The Repair Shop Series 11 Episode 14) and took on a portrait from the early 1900s known as a ‘crayon portrait.’
“This popular Victorian technique involved painting over an enlarged photograph, thus avoiding hours of posing for the sitter. The portrait belongs to David and features his great grandmother, who by all accounts was a formidable woman. Mary Fletcher was the mother of eight children and profoundly deaf – it’s something that David’s son William relates to. William is deaf and, like his great, great grandmother, has never let his deafness restrict him, which is why it is so important for the family to have the flaking, fragile portrait preserved, displayed and talked about.”
On her second appearance on the show (The Repair Shop Series 11 Episode 17), Bakalarou was tasked with fixing ” a mining helmet made from compressed paper, used by a Welsh colliery worker during his 51-year career underground. Current custodian Ceri cherishes the helmet as a reminder of his late grandfather, who started working down the mines at just 14 years of age.”
