Susan Weeks from Stitchery Stories will be interviewing two past Beryl Dean Award winners - Hannah Maughan and Karen Nicol. They will be talking about embroidery teaching/education. This will be an interesting discussion about how to sustain the traditions of embroidery, getting more young people interested and how cuts in funding are affecting education in the arts.
