Leek Buttons
Our local town, Leek, was the centre of the button industry as early as the 1600's, the Death's Head wrapped button being one of the most common types. Three different Leek buttons will be made on the workshop, similar to the ones pictured.

Suitability  
This workshop is suitable for beginners. Please note that the buttons require tight winding and therefore a degree of dexterity is required.
