BBC One’s “Make It at Market” returns this Friday with a look at two artisans hoping to turn their passions into profits. This week, the spotlight shines on Clare, a newly trained blacksmith from Solihull, and Gavin, a baking enthusiast from Bedfordshire. Both have dreams bigger than their current workspaces – and they’re hoping the marketplace will help them get there.
For Clare, blacksmithing is more than just hammering metal; it’s about forging a future. She aims to make enough money to finally put a deposit down on a house with her partner. The episode follows her journey as she makes the tricky transition from hobbyist to entrepreneur, testing whether her carefully crafted creations will resonate with buyers.
Meanwhile, Gavin, who currently manages the box office for an orchestra, dreams of a slightly different kind of performance. He wants to ditch his mum’s house and establish his own baking empire. To do that, he needs to generate some serious dough – the kind that comes from selling his delicious treats, not kneading them. The show will track his progress as he attempts to turn his after-hours baking passion into a full-fledged business.
Will Clare’s metalwork strike gold? Will Gavin’s cakes rise to the occasion? Tune in to BBC One on Friday, March 21st at 3:45 PM to find out.
