About

In this workshop you will learn how to carve a set of beautiful buttons from foraged wood. Using simple tools, you will learn skills which will give you confidence in using sharp tools and inspiration for starting your own projects.

This is also an excellent workshop for textile crafters who can use wooden buttons on their projects, such as cardigans, purses and dolls.

All tools and materials provided, no prior experience necessary.

Suitable for children 12+ but each child must be accompanied by an adult (one child per adult) to supervise.

We start promptly, so please arrive at the location a few minutes before the start time.

All children must be accompanied by their responsible adult at all times.
