Emma Bridgewater, New female politicians in Iran, Are you turning into your mother?
Emma Bridgewater on her use of pattern, new female politicians in Iran, Aizzah Fatima talks about her one-woman play, and are you turning into your mother?
Pottery designer Emma Bridgewater talks about creating modern day classic kitchenware. Described as "quintessentially British", her most recognisable designs range from simple polka dots to greyhounds chasing rabbits and they're all still made in Stoke-on-Trent. She'll tell us how it feels to be a designer turned industrialist.
Is turning into your mother inevitable and is it something to be welcomed or resisted? Alex Manson-Smith and Sarah Thompson blog about modern motherhood and counsellor Myira Khan works with clients on their relationships with their mothers.
Dirty Pakistani Lingerie is Aizzah Fatima's comic one woman show examining what it is to be a US Pakistani woman. Currently on tour around the UK, Aizzah and director Erica Gould join Jane tomorrow from Birmingham.
