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.
