Buttons, Re-Imagined

About this event

The Newtown Jewellers Collective and friends reimagine the contemporary button using diverse materials for Sydney Craft Week.

Discover how a simple clothing fastener became a regulated status symbol and an obsession for European rulers. The display uncovers the craftsmanship and societal rules once attached to everyday fastenings. Items reveal intricate details crafted by skilled artisans from precious materials.

This is an event that runs frequently across multiple dates.
