Ouija Tea Towels The Arts Gallery, June 2011
For the Occult exhibition at the Arts Gallery - Heavens to Murgatroyd! Bompas
& Parr worked with illustrator Emma Rios to create the Ouija Board Tea Towel.
The limited edition tea towel unites the domesticity of the humble tea towel with
the supernatural functionality of a spirit key board, making the ability to communicate with the undead available to every home.

Meat Jewellery
Bompas & Parr launched their range at Adam Entwisles SS11 catwalk show at London Fashion week. The solid silver skewers can be used to truss quail or to garnish pigs heads, but equally as elegant broaches or hair accessories.
Meat jewellery re-introduces a forgotten piece of kitchenalia that can be used to accessorise both meat dishes and dresses. In the early nineteenth century, edible centrepieces were garnished with elaborate skewers called attelets. Chefs threaded whole truffles and blanched coxcombs onto grand dishes such as boars heads.
