Pyrographer Chantal from Leeds and stained-glass artist Claire from Norfolk both hope to make their dreams of a creative career come true. \n\nHaving spent several years trying to earn a living from pyrography, Chantal feels it’s her last chance to make her craft pay. She has a thyroid condition which causes extreme fatigue, but she’s prepared to do whatever it takes to make her business dream a reality. \n\nAfter having to give up her sugar craft shop following a 33-year career, Claire needs to find a new way of earning a living and has her sights set on a new stained-glass business to pay the bills. Mentor Derek thinks she has the talent and potential to do well, but can Claire learn the new skills needed to succeed? \n\nBoth are given two months to take on board all the advice they’re given and turn their passions into paying professions.
