**Apologies, but the sound quality is poor in this episode** with some of the recording unusable so the editing is a bit of a dog's breakfast. The substance of what Gareth had to say was so valuable that I hope you will condone the decision to run with it.
For this episode I visited Gareth of Smith and Harris is his dungeon workshop on Hatton Garden. Surrounded by the tools of the trade, some of which he and his business partner Dennis have made or had made themselves, we covered a lot of ground, from mudlarking to bungling Kate Moss into the back of a Land Rover in broad daylight.
We covered:
The tools in Gareth’s workshop.
Memories of being an apprentice.
How Hatton Garden has changed.
Advice for becoming a jeweller.
Why Gareth is a jeweller and not a farmer.
Gareth’s favourite aspects of Hatton Garden.
How people find meaning in jewellery.
Some of the commissions Gareth has delivered.
Trophies.
Making an 18ct Gold life size statue of Kate Moss.
The benefits of welding over soldering.
More on Kate Moss.
The anonymity of workshops in Hatton Garden.
From the workshop to the velvet cushion.
Mudlarking on the banks of the Thames.
The ecosystem of Hatton Garden.
Gareth’s predictions for the future.
