Something beautifully handmade is on the horizon! We’re thrilled to announce that our Dorset Button Workshops are coming soon — and they’re set to be a creative journey into one of Britain’s most charming textile traditions.
Originating in the county of Dorset in the 17th century, Dorset buttons are a timeless craft made by wrapping thread around a ring to create intricate, decorative designs. Once a staple of cottage industry, these buttons are now enjoying a vibrant revival among crafters, designers, and textile enthusiasts.
Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or a curious beginner, our workshops will guide you through the techniques of creating your own unique buttons — from classic styles to modern interpretations. You’ll learn about the history, materials, and methods, all while enjoying a relaxed, hands-on experience.
Stay tuned for dates, locations, and booking details. Spaces will be limited, so be sure to sign up early to secure your spot. Let’s celebrate heritage, creativity, and the joy of making something truly special — one button at a time.
