I recently purchased a 3D printer to help me to better create original button designs. For these buttons, I did a sketch in Procreate, created a cutter and stamp using 3D software, and then the design was printed. I am excited because this allows me to bring button designs to life, exactly how I envision them.
My handmade ceramic buttons are made by rolling out slabs of clay and then cutting the shapes. When they become leather hard, I clean the edges and put the holes in them. Then, while they are still leather hard, I paint them with underglazes and fire them in a bisque fire at cone 04. Next, I glaze them with a clear glaze and fire them again at cone 6. This process vitrifies the clay, which makes them strong, and makes the glaze colors vibrant and rich. These buttons are great for knitting, crocheting, or sewing. The perfect accent or embellishment for a bag, hat, or cardigan.
