Dorset Button taster day
£100.00
This workshop will show you how to make range of Dorset buttons. Well spend the morning working on buttons, colour changing, and making a shank. You'll normally get 2-3 buttons made. Then we'll take an hour's break for lunch (not charged for). The afternoon will be spent making a brooch of your choice. Yes and flower posies work very well for this, or we can make a beaded brooch. We'll cover threads, rings, tools and a little history.
You can bring up to 8 people for this workshop. The price is for the time, not per person. Let us know how many before the day.
You will need a small selection of closed rings from 25mm to 35mm in diameter, 20m of sock yarn or cotton perle 5 weight in at least 2 different colours, a size 18 tapestry needle, small brooch backs, a sharp needle with a large enough eye to take the thread, a needle threader (the simple kind with wire), a selection of contrasting beads, and scissors. Materials are available to buy if you’d prefer.
