Winter Has Arrived!
Undoubtably some of the best things about Winter...

Studio Quote of the Month
You may have noticed the 'Studio quote of the month' on the new tea* homepage. Each month, we'll be posting our favourite quote from one of the tea*m members to give you an insight into studio life at tea towers.
This months quote is zombie inspired! When I arrived I introduced everyone to a game called 'Zombie Attack'** which has subsequently sparked many conversations about how each of us would deal with a zombie apocalypse in Guildford.

Autumn is on its Way!
I keep hearing people say how sad they are that Summer is nearly over and Autumn is on its way (although Summer never really started this year did it?).

tea* Skate Deck Graphics
We've spent the last couple of weeks flexing our creative muscles by designing skate deck graphics. These designs are for a collaborative project between tea* and decade skates in Guildford.

Our kitchen wall is now the proud owner of a hand painted tea shelf illustration.

Junk Mail to Handmade Paper
Junk mail is something that comes through our nation's doors in abundance. I've removed myself from direct mailing lists but still receive a fair chunk each month. I started thinking about creative ways I could upcycle junk mail and decided to turn it into handmade paper.
The steps below show you how to make paper using items you will already have at home.

Introducing Gemma Garner
Hi, I'm Gemma. The new creative at Creativitea.
What lead me to Creativitea?
I discovered Creativitea whilst on the search for a design agency that wants to do some good in the world. With their pledges to help charities and students, it sounded like the perfect company for me. I'd be lying if I denied that the BBQ on the balcony also played a part.
