    -Bone: +There are different [[typologies/shapes of buttons]], you can find them on the linked page. They also differ in the amount of holes, you can find it [[here]]
    -Buttons made from bone are probably the oldest kind known to humans. They were made from the shinbones of various animals and any farmer with a dead animal and a +
    -lathe could make them. Produced in early 18th century, popular until 1850s, then replaced by horn. Normally used only practically, historically for pant flys or underpants. +

    -Metal: 
    -Made from pewter, brass or aluminium. Sometimes covered with fabric

    -Shell: 
    -First appeared in the 1820s for an undershirt for King George IV. Often quite fragile, which is why they are very little archaeological findings. 
    -Often used on shirts, as small four holed models. Made from molusc shell. Photo shows a shell after the button blanks where cut out. 
    -{{:pearl2.jpg?300|}} 
      
    -Ceramic: 
    -Moulded in porcelain, first patented in 1840 by Richard Prosser. This made Ceramic buttons accessible to the working class.

    -Wood:

    -The different typologies/shapes of buttons:+//Until the Victorian era a large quantity of buttons was seen as a status symbol (Ferris 
     +1986:98)//
      
    -Sew on buttons: +Unlike today, buttons were bought and sold separately from the garment they were attached with. 
    -{{:189d520d-d9af-4499-b63a-ac7140cdb251_1_201_a.jpeg?400|}}+I like that thought. We all enjoy the advantages of pret-a-porter clothing, but sometimes they just do not fit. Use additional buttons as a tool to make them fit! 
     +   
     +  Possible Workshops:
      
    -Amount of holes and how to attach them:+1)   
     +  * Everyone brings a garment that does not fit the way you like it.  
     +  * Place one or many of provided buttons additionally on the garment. 
     +  * Fit a new buttonhole. 
     +  * You will walk home with your new tailor-made piece.
      
      
     +2)
     +  * You also bring a piece of scrap material of your liking.
     +  * We will learn to make a button from it.
      
     +3) 
     +  * Bring a garment with buttons
     +  * detach all buttons apart from one
     +  * Buttons are interchanged between participants and reattached
      
     +  What can I contribute to the school:
     +  
     +  * Button collection/ order system for free-to-use buttons
     +  * manual how to attach and work with different buttons
     +  * manual how to make buttons
     +  * workshop during rundgang
     +  * build a machine you can make buttons with
     +  * a grasshopper script that you can custom make/design your own button
