In this episode Isabella interviews Lisa Little, curator of Sheringham Museum at the Mo, and Lesley Lougher, volunteer and former trustee of Sheringham Museum at the Mo, about John Craske (1881-1943). John Craske was a Norfolk fisherman who took to painting and embroidery after falling ill. The trio talk about how Craske came to embroider, the style and content of his stitching, and how a group of women put his work on the map.
