Alice Kettle
Thursday, July 30, 2026 • Duration 49:48
In this episode internationally renowned textile artist Alice Kettle shares her Three Rooms.
Known for her extraordinary embroidered works, Alice has spent decades pushing the boundaries of what stitch can be. Her work combines drawing, painting and embroidery on a monumental scale, transforming thread into a way to tell powerful stories. As an artist, author and educator, she's inspired countless people to see embroidery not just as a craft, but as a contemporary art form capable of expressing complex ideas and emotions.
Alice shares how her Three Rooms have shaped her creativity, how she views the world and what’s important to her. She talks about her mother, and what a huge influence she was… we almost get a modern history of how access to creativity can change lives. And how a room with its sounds and smells, its light and proportions, but moreover the people in it, can make space, as they have for Alice, to live in our full potential.

Amber Butchart
Season 1 · Episode 14
Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 35:24
Amber Butchart has spent her career uncovering the stories that
are hidden in the clothes we wear. She's a fashion historian, author, curator and broadcaster whose work explores the rich connections between fashion, history, politics and identity.
You may know her as the history consultant from The Great British Sewing Bee and the documentary A Stitch in Time, her books, or the exhibitions she’s curated for The Design Museum, The Fashion and Textile Museum and the British Textile Biennial.
What makes Amber's work so compelling is that she doesn't just tell us what
people wore—she reveals what clothing and textiles can tell us about the lives of the people themselves and the societies they lived in.
In this episode Amber reveals her Three Rooms, which reflect her
love of vintage design, especially the British seaside aesthetic, but what really comes through is her joy and enthusiasm for colour, kitsch and fun,
and how this playfulness is very much a part of her home, her rooms, and her everyday life right now.

Cindy Konits
Season 1 · Episode 13
Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 52:18
Artist Cindy Konits joins Three Rooms to discuss memory, identity and the spaces that shape our lives. Working across photography, video and interactive media, Cindy's internationally acclaimed practice explores family history, personal archives and the ways we construct meaning from the past.
We talk about her latest project This Room Will Survive Me, a hauntingly beautiful body of work and book created using an obsolete instant camera and expired film. The resulting images feel dreamlike and ephemeral, and explore the very nature of rooms and identity.
Together, we explore how architecture helps us understand where we belong, and why certain spaces remain with us long after we've left them. Thoughtful, moving and surprisingly philosophical, this is a conversation about home, memory and what it means to leave a trace behind.
