Loop meets Frank McFadden, whose battle with addiction saw him lose it all, including his ability to pursue his gift as a visual artist.

On his road to recovery, Frank was given a lifeline through a chance encounter with artist Peter Howson, who invited him to work at his studio. Reconnecting with his gift for contemporary art at Howson鈥檚 studio, Frank went on to establish himself as one of Scotland鈥檚 leading contemporary artists, channelling themes of death and mortality into his work.

In Edinburgh, creative Kiaz Trepte shares her inspiring journey of how she used her skills as a textile maker and a former Vivienne Westwood fitter to become a puppet maker.

We also meet Fife schoolteacher turned fashion designer Sarah Murphy, learning how she crafts her brand of couture tulle dresses from her spare room, and we travel to Aberdeen to meet Lina Kotesva, who creates handmade artworks crafted from resin through her business, Colorflux Art.
