Crocheting and Ceramics

Episode 4 of 15

Tiana鈥檚 work is packed with character, but can she price it to sell? Ceramic artist Pip has the skills to succeed, but can her mentor instil the self-confidence and belief she needs?

Crocheter Tiana from London and ceramic artist Pip from Lancashire are both hoping Dom and his team of mentors can help them turn their talent into profitable businesses.

With a love of colourful fashion and a passion for accessories, Tiana has been running her own crochet business for several years. However, sales have slumped, and she wants to find out where she鈥檚 going wrong. Mentor Jeanette Sloan thinks Tiana has a strong sense of identity, but her pricing is a problem. Will Jeannette鈥檚 advice help kick-start Tiana鈥檚 business?

Pip, who is a potter, feels she鈥檚 facing the last roll of the dice to create a successful ceramics business. Mentor Stuart believes she has the skills but needs to find the confidence to sell her work fast.

Each maker is given eight weeks to put their mentors鈥� advice into practice, but do they have what it takes to build sustainable businesses?
