Ai Weiwei, Edmund de Waal, Cornelia Parker and Antony Gormley are among 10 leading artists who will break their usual mould by making decorative buttons for an exhibition this autumn.
Inspired by the great British ceramicist Lucie Rie, who died in 1995 aged 93, and who had to turn to producing buttons during the second world war, the artists will create their own, reflecting some event or instance from their lives.
