BBC One - Make It at Market, Series 1, Episode 12

Dom helps two crafters establish their glass-blowing and pottery businesses.

Time’s running out for Mark, who’s sunk his savings into setting up a glass-blowing business. And will potter Victor be able to improve his work to sell in high-end galleries?

Stepping into the Makers’ Marquee today are glass-blower Mark from north Wales and potter Victor from London. 

Mark’s love of glass-blowing started when he was a boy, but exposure to lead poisoning made him give up the craft he loved. After 35 years working in the voluntary sector, Mark was made redundant and has now sunk his savings into setting up his own studio and getting back to glass-blowing. But with his money running out, the pressure is on Dom and mentor Allister to help him to start turning a profit, fast. 

Victor was introduced to pottery by an art therapist who was treating him for anxiety. His clay sculptures have real artistic flair, and mentor Derek thinks he has potential to sell at high-end galleries. But when he adds his sculptural flourishes to his tableware, it takes too long to make them profitable. Derek has some tips and tricks to help Victor speed things up, but will he be up to the challenge?

With just two months to prove to Dom and their mentors they have the ambition and skill to make it at market, the pressure is on for Mark and Victor.
