Episode 6 of 15

After an eight-year break, can talented glassblower Emmy meet her mentor鈥檚 high expectations? And will sustainability champion Zita embrace her mentor鈥檚 advice to try new fabrics?

Two makers from opposite ends of the country arrive at Dom Chinea鈥檚 Maker鈥檚 Marquee, hoping he and his team can help to change their lives.

Emmy from Devon is a talented glassmaker returning to her craft after an eight-year break, and Zita is an ambitious textile designer from Fife hoping to swap her day job for her own business. Zita鈥檚 mentor Piyush loves her eye for colour and design but isn鈥檛 keen on the tools and techniques she鈥檚 using. Zita loves working with a sackcloth jute fabric, but Piyush is concerned it doesn鈥檛 feel high-end enough. Will sustainability champion Zita stick to her guns or take on Piyush鈥檚 advice to embrace alternatives to jute to widen her market and improve the quality of her textiles?

Meanwhile, mentor Allister is so impressed with Emmy鈥檚 glassmaking skills that he has grand plans for her pieces, but can she live up to his high expectations? With only two months to turn their skills and love of making into moneymaking businesses, can they make it at market?
