Lindon’s metalwork is beautiful, but he lacks confidence. Can his mentor give him the boost he needs? Hannah’s hand embroidery is stunning, but can her mentor help her make it pay?

Metal artist Lindon from Essex and hand embroiderer Hannah from Staffordshire step into Dom’s gardens, hoping to turn their passion and skill into profitable businesses. It’s high stakes for welder and fabricator Lindon, who hopes to turn his skills from his day job into a full-time metal artwork business so he can support his young family. Mentor Adrian is on hand to help him with tips and techniques to help him towards making his dream a reality.

For membership officer Hannah, anxiety and a lack of confidence have often held her back. Finding hand embroidery has changed her life for the better, can mentor Tory help her find her market?

With just two months to put their mentors’ advice into practice, can Lindon and Hannah prove they’ve got what it takes to build successful businesses?
