The episodes in Series 2 are
- all available to view for a year on BBC iPlayer and
- can be seen on BBC iPlayer's "Home is where the art is" website page. Just click the link to view the programme (if you can view the BBC).
- covers the second week and the artists in Episodes 5-10 (following on from last post Home Is Where The Art Is (Series 2)
- identifies both the commission brief and budget
- lists where you can see their artwork and contact them:
- Links to the artist's website is embedded in their name
- Links to a max of three social media sites are then listed below the name (Note: I only ever list Facebook Pages as accounts are personal sites - not for business)
- those with asterisks were commissioned to make an artwork
- plus images from their social media which
- indicates something of the programme,
- enables you to see the artwork
- and a lot more of their work
- read what people thought of their time in the show and what they produced - if they were selected for the final two asked to produce a commissioned artwork.
- and THE AFTERMATH of appearing on the programme! ;)
It will be followed by a further post this week in which I'll
- highlight my conclusions about the series as a whole
- identify some TIPS for those wanting to apply for the next series (which I'm absolutely 100% sure will be commissioned)

This was one programme where I came away thinking the winner is going to be getting a lot of commissions. Turns out I was right!
Episode 8 (Budget: upto £800)
Commission Brief: something to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary
The artists are:
- Rob Edmondson * (painter)
- https://www.facebook.com/RobEdmondsonArt/

- Pratima Kramer (ceramicist)
- https://www.facebook.com/pratimakramerart/
- https://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/directory/pratima-kramer
- James Sutton * (sculptor)
Not an untypical response from artists who made great and unusual work
Even the artist who didn't make the final cut has had lots of interest in her artwork and sales!
Episode 9 (Budget £1,000)
The artists are:
- Ollie Holman (sculptor - specialising in metal fabrication)
- Louise O’Hara (Mixed media painter)
- Samantha Yates (stained-glass designer)
 |
| Ollie Hollins talking about how he created his sculpture for a couple who are about to be married |
Episode 10 (Budget £700)
Commission Brief: The buyer is looking for a gift for her husband as a thank you for all he does for the family and to mark his long service to charity work.
The artists are:
- Jim Anderson * (mosaic maker)
- Lucy Cortese * (stone carver / sculptor)
- https://www.facebook.com/LucyCorteseArtistandStoneCarver/
- https://www.instagram.com/lucycorteseartandstone/
- Jasmin Issaka (psychedelic Illustrator)
This mosaic mural - created by Jim Anderson - was quite possibly one of the most customised pieces in the series to this point. I suspect if he'd' been on social media we'd have seen much evidence of people wanting one just like it for their family. Do take a look at his website!

- my concern about the absence of any name credit in text in the programme
- explain why it should be mandatory that all participants who are professional artists get a named credit.
