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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
