Dorset Buttons With A Difference

Each week at City and Guilds we have 'Show and Tell'

of the previous weeks samples and this week

we were looking at the buttons made and fastenings.

I demonstrated Dorset Buttons and as you can see

Gill has made some of her own and in different ways.

I was taught these when I did my City and Guilds and have used them ever

since and in many different ways myself. 

I use them as embellishments,

they often appear in my sculptures or in part on my embroideries.

I love teaching Textiles and seeing the skills interpreted in many ways.
