Instructor: Anna McDowell

Course Description: Tree buttons are not a traditional Dorset Buttons but a contemporary version of this heritage craft. I always try to use the traditional stitches when making any of my contemporary buttons so I will be using all four stages (Casting, Slicking, Laying and Rounding) to make these buttons, concentrating on how to place spokes.

Skill Level: Continuing Beginner, Intermediate

Prerequisite: Experience with a traditional Dorset Cartwheel button. Students are asked to prepare their ring by Casting (blanket stitching) around it before class.
