Episode Synopsis

Fleur Oakes is one of the UK's leading needle lace makers. We discuss her path from art school to fashion design, and from being a bespoke corset-maker to becoming entranced by the beauty and precision of lace. Fleur's work is inspired by natural forms, and now she is lace-maker in residence in the vascular surgery unit at St Mary's Hospital in London.
