On Demand: THREAD TALKS: Gina-B Silkworks - Needlework Buttons

Gina Barrett began her career as a graphic designer and illustrator, which included covers for historical romantic novels.

This led to a more intense study of costume, which in itself led to a passion for historical passementerie, including buttons and other trimmings.

She now provides bespoke items to costumers for film, theatre, museums and fashion, and continues to research and to write about both old techniques and developing new ones.

Registration gives you access to the recording of the Gina's talk on May 26th 2023. It will be available for at least one month after registration and can only be viewed online.

Gina and her husband run Gina-B Silkworks, which brings original tools, kits and materials for traditional crafts and trimmings to a modern audience through their website, shops and the UK TV craft channel, Create & Craft.
