THE BBC has announced its new show Make it at Market, which will include local artist Rachael Moreland.

The series will see The Repair Shop’s Dom Chinea work with a team of craft and business experts to help a group of creators make a living from their hobbies.

They will take part in a number of challenges to see if they have what it takes to make a living from their talents, and explore business models for those with potential.

One of the makers taking part is Rachael Moreland, an artist living in Reading.

She has been carving for just over two years, with a particular love for carving wooden spoons.

Rachael will be joined by fellow amateur creators, ranging from fellow woodworkers to weavers, jewelers, potters, and blacksmiths.

She said: “I’ve been someone that likes making stuff my whole life, really.

“Carving is a very therapeutic, calming thing to do– I could sit carving for hours.

“Before my hand cramps up, anyway,” she jokes.

“I’m still figuring things out, but I’d love to have my own workshop– that would be the dream.”

Dom Chinea says: “We have already started filming this series and it has been really inspirational to watch the amateurs develop and bloom.

“They have the skills already, but it’s great to see them really shine and fulfill their potential of making a viable business that will undoubtedly change their lives.”

Acting Head of BBC daytime and early peak, Lindsay Bradbury says: “Make it at Market reveals the extraordinary skills that, with a helping hand, people can use to change the course of their lives.”

Make it at Market will be hitting screens later this year.
