Today’s talented makers stepping into Dom’s marquee are textile weaver Jessica from Kent and jeweller Nyanda from London.

Jessica has so far struggled to break into the textiles market, and mentor Piyush thinks he knows why. Jessica loves colour but doesn’t have a plan for how many she uses in her pieces. Piyush sets her a challenge of using no more than four colours in each of four seasonal collections. It’s a big change for Jessica, so will she be able to stick to the plan and find a way of breaking into the textiles market?

Nyanda is a passionate and talented jeweller with a strong design eye, but is her focus on creating incredible one-off pieces holding her back? Mentor Rachel wants her to make simpler pieces she can produce more quickly and sell for more affordable prices. Will it pay off when Nyanda takes her pieces to a high-end craft fair?

With just eight weeks to put all of the tips, tricks and advice from their mentors into practice, will Jessica and Nyanda be able to prove they’ve got what it takes to turn their hobbies into businesses? Show less
