Description
Join artist Patsy Frasier at the League of NH Craftsmen - Meredith Fine Craft Gallery on Thursday, October 3rd, 2024 from 10 am to 1 pm for an Intro to Dorset Buttons class. Dorset Buttons? Yes! It’s a button that was introduced in the early 1600’s in the county of Dorset, UK. They started in a small cottage industry and were used to add décor to clothing and to cover small damages and imperfections in clothing. In the 1800’s large manufacturing companies ended the personal cottage business. Today the buttons are an art craft and the options are limitless. Weaving around a small ring with multiple fibers you create buttons that are used for clothing accents, upholstery accents, jewelry, hair accessories, magnets, Christmas ornaments and even framed art. Tuition is $40 per student with an additional materials fee of $15 paid by cash or check to the instructor at the time of the class. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Those who wish to attend MUST sign up by Tuesday, October 1st. To register for this workshop, please call the League of NH Craftsmen – Meredith Fine Craft Gallery at (603) 279-7920 or stop by the gallery located at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH.
