In this reflective solo episode, The Lace Bee shares why bobbin lacemaking has been added to the Heritage Crafts Red List of Endangered Crafts – and what this means for the future of the craft in the UK.

Drawing on personal insight, historical context and the quiet power of community, this episode explores the challenges facing lacemaking today, from dwindling adult education and an ageing practitioner base to undervalued market pricing.

But it is also a call to action. Whether you’re a lifelong lacemaker or a curious beginner, The Lace Bee invites you to keep the thread alive – by sharing, teaching and making space for the next generation of lace.

Listen in to rediscover the strength, beauty and importance of a craft that deserves not only to be remembered – but to be revived.
