Making a cup of tea







We were set a project to create a book on 'how to make a cup of tea'. I decided I didn't want to use computers, the book is made entirely from printing methods, by using photocopy transfer and inking up tea bags and printing them directly on the pages. The bag or slip that holds the book has a lino print of a tea plant on the surface.

I think I enjoy this kind of work most In the future I would like to combine Typography with book making to create something worthy of keeping, I think when typography is applied to something more than a piece of paper it makes it that much nicer.
