A little bit about me and Rag Button
rag: a fragment of material button: an embellishment
Combined, these words are the spirit of rag button. Each simple, yet elegant piece, is distinctive & stylish.
Artist
and designer Heather Burgess is the human driving force behind the name Rag
Button. She graduated from the
University of Ulster in 2003 where she specialized in Textiles and then gained
a Master in Business Studies in 2005.
After all this studying, it was time to put her qualifications and
experience into practice.
So
Heather, now bursting with knowledge, practical skills waiting to be exercised
and an obsession with buttons and all things miniature, Rag button was
formed.
I am inspired by vintage
fabrics, buttons and all things miniature. In my work I combine hand
stitching and machine work to create small and precious items. I also
draw on traditional and modern textile techniques to make and develop my
ideas.
