Tucked away in a garden shed, retired furniture-maker turned miniaturist Terry Facey spends his days making something wonderfully small.
In this cosy, slow-paced How Was It Made documentary, we follow Terry as he carefully crafts miniature dolls house furniture by hand. Here he shows us how he's replicated an antique marquetry table from 1674 in the V&A's collection in miniature form, using the same materials, techniques, care and skill as the full-size piece.
Relax into the gentle rhythm of his tools, the smell of locally-sourced yew wood, and decades of quiet experience at work. From selecting materials to finishing the smallest details, including incredibly intricate oyster veneer, Terry shows how patience and craftsmanship can turn a humble shed into a place of remarkable creativity.
