Every teabag holds a story.

Steeped in meaning.

The teabag memorialises relationships and time; a contemplative moment at home or a conversation with colleagues in between lessons.

Sip on this

If each teabag represents half an hour of ‘teabag-time’, then the 1,280 teabags in one quilt equate to 640 hours.

Twelve art quilts equate to about 7,680 hours, close to the number of hours in one year.

A time-slowing ritual

Just as a cup of tea offers a moment for connection and slowing down, so lovingly painting and placing and sewing thousands of teabags together does the same.
