The very gifted ceramic restorers sound Dutch.

This felt very hollow and much like a vanity project with no substance. Such a shame they didn’t show the actual repairs in more depth, how it is filled and sanded and most importantly, how small restored sections can then sealed to be water-resistant like the rest of the a pre-fired piece. I even went and watched the entire episode on their website, the North American lady spoke a lot but the restorers barely got a word in. Such a wasted opportunity to document important work. Felt like a superficial video with no real information.
