This episode's talented makers stepping into Dom Chinea鈥檚 marquee are textile weaver Jessica from Kent and jeweller Nyanda from London. So far, Jessica has struggled to break into the textile market, and mentor Piyush thinks he knows why. Jessica loves colour but doesn鈥檛 plan how many to use in her pieces. Piyush sets her a challenge of using no more than four colours in each of four seasonal collections. It鈥檚 a big change for Jessica, so will she be able to stick to the plan and find a way of breaking into the textile market?

Nyanda is a passionate and talented jeweller with a strong eye for design, but is her focus on creating incredible one-off pieces holding her back? Mentor Rachel wants her to make simpler pieces she can produce more quickly and sell for more affordable prices. Will it pay off when Nyanda takes her pieces to a high-end craft fair? With just eight weeks to put all of the tips, tricks and advice from their mentors into practice, will Jessica and Nyanda be able to prove they鈥檝e got what it takes to turn their hobbies into businesses?
