laura walker’s handmade buttons
posted by the scholar on July 27th, 2007filed under: personal accessories, art, clay, mixed media
what a spanking button!
laura walker is a professional textile artist who specializes in embroidery. she also makes these amazing ceramic buttons, which rose from a need to complete her own textile projects with something special.
laura’s daughter is autistic and her work is inspired in part by her experiences with the disability.
the buttons are fired once, glazed, then fired a second time. some have tiny glass detail.
laura has hundreds of fun and quirky designs. her studio is located in sheffield, england.
see more work and purchase here.

I thought these buttons are made up of bone. Anyways, they are nice. What’s the price by the way? Are they very dear?
