Make It at Market will return to BBC One on Monday 27 November for a brand new series, filmed in the stunning Waterperry Gardens in Oxfordshire. It will see the return of Dom Chinea and his team of business and craft experts as they bring real change to the lives of budding entrepreneurs who hope to make a living from their crafting hobby.
The inspirational series will showcase a diverse selection of talented hobbyists from across the UK. We meet Des, a former teacher looking to make a career in willow weaving, Hayley, a mum who would like to change her family’s fortunes with her upholstery business and Will, a colour blind pointillism artist. From blacksmiths and jewellers to potters and up-cyclers, the makers are all teamed up with an expert mentor to provide practical making tips and straight talking advice.
This series viewers will see talented mentors assess if the amateur craftspeople have what it takes, before they head off into the real world to make some cash from their craft. The high-volume challenge tests if the makers can produce saleable items quickly and cheaply; the high-end piece is something that takes longer to make, uses expensive materials and carries a high price tag; finally the favourite piece is the one each loves to make the most but can it be a profitable part of their business?
