Following her emigration to the UK during the Second World War, Rie began producing buttons for the fashion industry after identifying a gap in the market due to factories being requisitioned for the War effort. Hundreds of the artist’s buttons are on display alongside examples of finely thrown vessels and functional ware produced by Rie, and by her collaborator and ACS member Hans Coper.
