DJ FOOD & HENRY FLINT TEATOWEL

Posted on 2012-06-18

In conjuction with the DJ Food & Henry Flint exhibition at Factoryroad, the ‘house-that-got-turned-into-a-gallery’, they have produced that most domestic of items, a souvenir tea towel.

Only this one has slightly different qualities in that it can, of course, be used to polish your space helmet, visor or instrument panel, as well as being an excellent tool for removing excess water from recently-washed dishes.
Printed in chocolate brown and coppery gold, it bears the date of the show and comes wrapped in a band showing a monochrome Skullstronaut. Screen printed in Factory Road and hand-sewn.
Also available limited edition ‘Skullstronaut’ giclee print and locally sourced chocolate bars, cleverly playing on the outer space theme and packaged like freeze-dried astronaut food.
