We used to have a button maker at Cohere. It was the best. I don't know why we had it or why we no longer have it but we did some serious community-time with that thing. Any member could pitch in $$ for the supplies and then use it to make their buttons. So many hours were spent together making buttons. I loved it. It's a perfect break-time or lunch time activity. So few of us get to do work with a tangible outcome anymore. We used button making as an outlet and as social time. Angel
