Metal sculptor Leigh and carpentry expert Shelley offer rival designs for them to choose between: a transformation into a stunning piece of furniture or an artwork to celebrate their ruby anniversary.

Two old vintage cameras that belonged to Mags’s mum are no longer used, but they captured a lifetime of travels and adventures. Shelley designs beautiful pieces of art that bring the cameras back into focus.
