Bold Upholstery and Artistic Blacksmithing

Episode 6 of 15

After redundancy, Alison followed her passion for upholstery. She has the USP, now she needs sales. Blacksmith Jack wants to swap architectural for artistic work. Can he succeed?

Looking to change their lives with the help of Dom and his team of mentors are upholsterer Alison from Huddersfield and artistic blacksmith Jack from Edinburgh.

Following redundancy, Alison seized the opportunity to return to upholstery, which she had last done at an evening course 23 years ago. With a passion for furniture, sustainability and all things colours, she’s found her USP, but can mentor Micaela help her make the sales she desperately needs.

Highly skilled blacksmith Jack is making ends meet doing architectural ironing work, but his passion lies in the artistic side of the industry. Dom is blown away by his talent and mentor Ian arms him with a plan to steer his business in the right direction, but will Jack listen?

Each maker is given two months to give their creative careers their all, but will they earn enough cash from their crafts to prove they have profitable businesses?
