Antler Button Making

Antler Button Making

Buttons have played a functional and decorative role in garments, bags, footwear, containers and more for thousands of years. While most are made of plastic these days, there are many natural materials one can use to make these important fasteners. Until you make one yourself, it is easy to take them for granted.

During this hands-on workshop you will learn how to source materials, use tools safely and transform deer antlers into beautiful buttons (or beads if you prefer). This labor intensive process can be both humbling and gratifying. We will work together to help one another make beautiful creations to take home or gift to a loved one.

Kate Lundquist will be sharing Antler Button Making.
