The Tea Caddy was imagined and drawn for the Albert Drive Project.
Andrew McAvoy imagined and designed it as one of a number of individually commissioned Artists who participated in this project

This was first drawn by hand as a Wylliesque paper object – Then drawn and thought through fixing by fixing and turned into manufacturing drawings in discussion with his Engineer father James McAvoy

Together they tightly controlled its making through manufacture, so that it was lean and exactly as it should be.

Many small details were sorted in the makers workshop through discussion between the Engineer and the manufacturer.

It was derived from the architecture of Albert Drive and in discussion with the performative Artists Jess, Tash and Rachel at _ Glas(s) Performance.
