Participants will learn about the history of buttons — from simple functional objects to decorative elements that once carried stories of status, craftsmanship and fashion. In the hands-on part of the workshop, participants will create their own buttons using traditional techniques and natural materials. The focus is on sustainability, handmade work and the preservation of old crafts, with the workshop designed as a shared family experience where children and adults create together.
