Refreshments (cake, tea/coffee) will be provided - but please bring your own lunch. All materials for the day will also be supplied; however, please bring your own small scissors. And remember your glasses if you need them for close-up work! Spaces are limited. About Gina Gina is a textile artist, designer & writer with a passion for historical passementerie - especially buttons! She now provides bespoke items to costumiers for film, theatre, museums and fashion, and continues to research and to write about both old techniques and developing new ones. She is particularly keen to discover the lost techniques used to create buttons, which of course means steadily building a collection to learn from. She & her husband run Gina-B Silkworks, bringing “Traditional crafts for the modern maker”. Her recent books include “Dorset Ring Buttons” and “Zwirnknopf Buttons” Gina's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/GinaBSilkworks Gina-B Silkworks Website: https://www.ginabsilkworks.co.uk
