New for 2012

We have been busy working on a little sister project to Tea & Make, which we are really looking forward to telling you all about next year. Watch this space!

Tea & Make in 2011

We keep in touch with all our wonderful Tea & Makers and they have been doing amazing things in 2011, so you’re sure to spot some of their work for sale online and in the shops! They have also been asking us when we’re putting on our next event... but sadly 2011 has gone by without a ‘Tea & Make do’, as we have been hugely busy with our own projects (do check out our websites if you’re curious about the other things we do... www.pheasantmailorder.co.uk and www.interim.org.uk) and we have also both moved home this year (as you can imagine this is no quick thing for two women who LOVE styling up their homes!!)

Presentation for Lewisham Council
In July Tea & Make were invited to present at Lewisham Council’s second Creative Exchange event, Retail Revolution, a key area of development for the creative industries strategy for the council.

The event focussed on opportunities provided by Empty Shops, providing pragmatic advice and ideas on taking proposals forward, aimed at groups and creative businesses that are interested in using the Council’s empty shops or liaising with a private property owner. Tea & Make were invited to present how they made their Pop-Up Shop happen, alongside presentations from Council members and Spacemakers’ Dougald Hines.

For more information on Lewisham's Empty Shops Strategy please contact Brigid Howarth on brigid.howarth@lewisham.gov.uk or 020 8314 7728.

For anyone out there with an empty shop space they'd like us to fill contact Sally or Esther!
