Anna McDowell BEM - Dorset Button maker and artist
Dorset Buttons at Henry's Buttons is based near Shaftesbury, Dorset, with the aim of helping to keep the heritage craft of the Dorset Buttons industry alive. My first action was to find out if anyone was interested in Dorset Buttons so with the help of a friend, Charlotte McMillan, we organised two workshops in 2009. Both were oversubscribed and the rest is history.
