Upcycling: Button Brooches

Upcycle old buttons, beads and bits of broken jewellery into a beautiful brooch.

In this relaxed and creative session we'll explore different ways of working with buttons and beads to build up unique and beautiful embellished surfaces which we'll then turn into brooches.

No experience required.

Materials will be supplied, but if you have any old buttons / jewellery you want to use please bring them with you.

This session will be delivered by Helen Walsh, Artist and Creative Practitioner from Delicate Stitches.
