Cath Kelly Make it at Market

Willow weaver Cath Kelly appears on the first series of BBC1’s Make it at Market. The show aims to help hobby crafters turn their passions into a business. It is hosted by The Repair Shop’s Dominic Chinea. Cath features in the first episode.

Speaking about the experience of being on prime-time TV, Cath said: “I’ve never done anything like this before and felt it was an opportunity not to be missed.

“It also gave my grandchildren a bit of excitement to see Nana on TV!

“I had a great time with my mentor Eddie Glew and Dom Chinea – best known for his skills on the Repair Shop – who was brilliant in supporting me to learn the new skill of welding, as that is needed to help hold my larger creations up!

“I’m really blown away by the lovely positive response I’ve had so far.

“As it’s only me, it’ll take me a little while to get through all the messages but I’m doing my best!”

Talking about the next steps to Nantwich News, Cath added: “I’m rather passionate about each of my creations being bespoke – it’s like sharing a bit of my personality and drawing with willow on each and every one of them.

“The end of the show has given me an incredible opportunity to showcase my willow work at Bridgemere Garden Centre in the spring.

“I can’t wait to show off some of my newer designs and run some more workshops so people can learn a new mindful skill too!”
