2012. Tea Stories. This project was funded by Arts Council England, The Herritage Lottery Fund and Sparkplugs. This project looked at the past use of the building which is now used by Spike Island Arts space but was once a former Brooke Bond Tea packing factory. Over the project I made contact with over 80 ex Brooke Bond employees. We held a number of reunion events and exhibitions such a reunion tea party and book launch amongst other events. The project culminated in the making of a book,which was based on the Brooke Bond tea card albulms and instead of detailing wildlife or transport it documented the working lives of ex Brooke Bond employees.
