Inspired by the revival of the ‘handmade’ Portraits of a Tea Cosy brings together social history, craft, photography and sculpture using the humble tea cosy as a vessel to evoke nostalgic memories and deep familial love.

Portraits of a Tea Cosy consists of photographs, audio stories and knitted objects that were inspired during a series of story gatherings and workshops held during 2012. The exhibition explores stories of family and friendship in the unselfconscious joy of owning something quirky. 

Portraits of a Tea Cosy is a travelling exhibition developed by Warwick Art Gallery and toured by Museum and Gallery Service Queensland.
