The Lace Bee’s Podcast

Season 1 - Episode 4 - Musings on the need and inspiration to craft

In this podcast I muse on the need for craft and the inspirations that I have for making.

If you wish to read my blog on Adult Education in the UK and why it was more than just learning to make lace, then follow this link to my blog - The Lace Notes.

Season 1 - Episode 3 - To film or not to film, a brief history of pricking making

Prickings are the patterns that bobbin lacemakers use to make lace.  These little holes guide us as to where to place our pins.  Back in November, 2022, I mused about this in my blog.  In this podcast, I look at prickings in more detail.
