Description
Stepping into Dom’s life-changing makers’ bootcamp are Rukhsana from Birmingham and Jan from Herefordshire. Textile waste upcycler Rukhsana is full of passion, but she lacks the confidence to promote herself. Mentor Zoe thinks she’s hiding behind her products and needs to convince Rukhsana’s brand is all about her, not her pieces. She wants Rukhsana to lead a textile-upcycling revolution, but is she up for the biggest challenge Dom and the team have ever given any maker? Electrician Jan wants to swap his day job for a stone-carving career. After a 30-year break, a period of ill health led to him rediscovering his love of the craft. Mentor Louis thinks Jan is hugely talented, but can he help him to start building the business that will allow a career switch?
