About this Event

This workshop introduces participants to the mindful heritage craft of button making, with a focus on creating the traditional ring-and-thread button known as the Dorset Posy, designed to resemble a small bouquet of flowers.

Participants will be guided step by step through the process by Sandrine from The Frog in the Craft of forming the ring and stitching the decorative threads.

On the day, they can choose to transform their finished piece into either a brooch or a bookmark.

The session includes full guidance, all materials and tools required, as well as written instructions to take home so participants can continue the craft in their own time.

Additional Information

Sandrine Bramley is a Nottinghamshire-based textile artist and the founder of The Frog in the Craft, a small business specialising in heritage-inspired textile crafts and hand sewing. Her work focuses on traditional techniques, adapted for modern makers through accessible, practical teaching.
Largely self-taught, Sandrine has developed her practice through years of hands-on making and research into historical textile methods.

Alongside her teaching, she creates her own button designs, combining traditional techniques with contemporary approaches and, at times, blending multiple techniques within a single piece. She delivers workshops across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, working with community groups, organisations such as Ashfield Creates, and local venues. Her teaching centres on clear guidance, confidence-building, and process-led making, encouraging participants to explore at their own pace and make each piece their own. Through her work, she aims to reconnect people with traditional crafts in a way that feels achievable, engaging, and relevant today.
