Episode 5: Smell The Roses

In this episode we stop and smell the roses, discovering on the way an enduring connection between fabric, flowers and philosophy. I talk to a textile researcher who has dedicated her career to preserving and recreating hand-painted chintz, an expert on South Asian textiles and an advocate for traditional Swedish dress. And the curator of the Dom Robert Tapestry Museum in the South of France.
