Looking for something truly special to do during Sheep and Wool Weekend? This is it.
Step back in time and discover the rich history behind Dorset buttons — a craft tradition dating back centuries — and learn the same techniques artisans have used for generations. Then bring your new skills to life by crafting a beautiful Swanston Shawl Pin, a one-of-a-kind keepsake you'll be proud to wear or gift.
You'll spend the afternoon with author Pat Olski, a celebrated authority on Dorset buttons, whose passion for these historic embellishments is contagious. This is a rare chance to learn directly from an expert whose knowledge of the craft runs deep.
Adding your own Dorset buttons to your hand crafted sweater will make it truly one of a kind.
Seats are limited, so don't miss your chance to leave with a handmade piece of history — and a skill you'll treasure long after Sheep and Wool Weekend ends.
When: Saturday, October 17, noon – 3:00 PM
Cost: $85 (some materials included; Pat's books and additional materials available for purchase in class)
