Ceramic Button/Tile Making Create a number of unique ceramic buttons or tiles to your own design with Margaret from Clay and Wood Works
A fantastic opportunity to create a number of unique ceramic buttons or tiles to your own design, which you can use on your own special projects (an item of clothing, a cushion, splashback, tabletop etc)
