Welcome to the button tin

            Vintage-Craft-Studio

             Workshops with a Vintage Twist...

the button tin is home to textile artist Gemma Nemer who is professionally trained in the fine arts and an experienced workshop tutor. Gemma will be running a programme of vintage craft workshops in the button tin throughout the year.

You will have the opportunity to take classes on how to make a vintage etui (sewing box), pretty bunting, textile jewellery, kitsch little lavender bags, tea cosies, aprons and lots more.  Choose from Gemmas beautiful fabrics and buttons and also learn how to recycle and salvage vintage materials and incorporate them in to your work. 

It will be a wonderful chance and insight to work with Gemma and to have a rummage through lots of lovely pretty things!

You will also have the chance to see Gemmas one off vintage textile jewellery pieces and purchase them exclusively from her. The jewellery created by Gemma is a vibrant adventure into the art of salvage and recreation. The materials she uses contain a wealth of social history. Behind every swatch of reclaimed fabric and beautifully formed button is hidden a lost story from another time and place, a hidden narrative that the truly discerning can discover and appreciate.

Gemma will have on hand all her wonderful collections of vintage fabrics, patchwork, aprons, buttons, baskets, books and trinkets to inspire you! It does not matter what sewing skills you hold; all are welcome! Come and be inspired, all materials and equipment are provided along with afternoon tea!
