Leatherwork and Jewellery
After giving up their landscaping and teaching careers, there鈥檚 a huge amount riding on Austin and Sarah being able to launch successful leather and jewellery businesses.
Leatherworker Austin from Essex and jeweller Sarah from Glasgow are both hoping to turn their passions into full-time jobs.
Austin took up leatherwork as a hobby following a health scare. He鈥檚 no longer able to do landscaping work and wants to start a new career but first, mentor Andy needs to help him hone leatherwork techniques and broaden the product range.
Sarah had to give up teaching after her hearing deteriorated and she found it hard to listen to the children. That pushed her into taking the plunge and follow her dream of working with jewellery. She鈥檚 got the talent, but can mentor Sonny give her the self-belief to sell her work?
Both craft enthusiasts are given two months to build their businesses, but not everything goes to plan.
