Series 2: 5. Mosaics and Animal Embroidery

Mosaic artist Dionne from Bedfordshire and animal head embroiderer Alan from Derby are both hoping to make their dreams of a creative career come true. After 20 years of trying to earn a living from mosaics but having to rely on other work to help pay the bills, Dionne is more than ready to do whatever it takes to have a full-time art career. To do this, her mentor Sharon wants to push her out of her comfort zone, but after a few setbacks, will she have the confidence to put herself out there? \n\nLosing his job a year ago gave Alan the opportunity to commit to the embroidery career he’d always wanted. His sights are now set on making enough money so that he and his partner can afford their own home, but to take his business to the next level, he needs to broaden his range to widen his customer base.\n\nBoth of these talented makers are given two months to take on board all the advice they’re given from Dom and the team, but can they bring in enough cash from their customers to turn their passions into full-time professions?
