Dorset Button Workshops
As well as specialising in the design and creation of hand knit accessories, Debbie designs and makes Dorset buttons which she uses to create unique pieces of jewellery.
In 2015 she facilitated her first workshop with the Creative Peninsula in Holywood, County Down. She now regularly runs workshops and demonstrations throughout Northern Ireland in schools, museums and craft groups.
What to expect at a Dorset Button Workshop:
Participants are taken through the history of the Dorset button and how it can be used today for embellishment or as a piece of quirky jewellery!
Debbie will demonstrate how to make a simple cross wheel button and then guide the participants in the creation of their own brooch or necklace to be taken home.
If you would like Debbie to facilitate a workshop or demonstration, please get in touch.
