"Afternoon Tea"

This was for my Graduation Project entitled 'Afternoon Tea'. I wanted to illustrate how as a nation we have a great love for Tea and the conversations that goes with it 'A little Tea, A little Chat'. In this project I wanted to put a 21st century spin on British tradition by using everyday conversations that really occur over a 'cuppa'. To do so, I used sayings I had overheard in British Tea Rooms and Coffee Shops to produce a 'nostalgic shock'. I used the objects surfaces and shapes to reveal the information therefore making the viewer interact with the item. Furthermore, despite some of the quotes I heard being quite shocking, I still wanted the information to look as if it belonged on the object, therefore I had to ensure I captured a sense of nostalgia and luxury through the use of delicate details and 1950's colour palettes.

Contextualising ‘Afternoon Tea’

Embroidered Doilies

These are also part of my 'Afternoon Tea' Project. I wanted to experiment with more traditional techniques in order to make the conversations appear much more part of the original design.

Doily Design

Also part of my 'Afternoon Tea' project. I wanted to design my own doilies to enable the text to be part of the actual object.
