[UPDATED: CLICK THRU for event / display images of the customs at Forbidden Planet!]
PRESS: To celebrate the launch of 'Lunartik in a Cup of Tea Series One', Lunartik will be going on a worldwide tour! We have teamed up with 24 of the worlds finest artists to produce a fantastic range of custom Teas! Each one has been lovingly crafted by each artist using the Milky DIY as a template to create their own vision of a lovely cup of tea. Along with these pieces you will get the chance to see the original sculpts made from resin, a selection of silicon casts and some of Matt's sketch books from 2006.
The tour begins August 28th (til Sept 7th) at Forbidden Planet, then head off to Outland Gallery in Amsterdam, Holland (Sept 17-28), SIXXA in Vienna, Austria (Oct 2-13), Fat Buddha in Glasgow, Scotland (Nov 5-15), and then back to the UK at Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester (Dec 3-13). Participating artists include Triclops Studio, Jeremyville, Kenn Munk, Guinea Pig Design, Woolloomooloo, Mr Scruff, TADO, CROM, Pete Fowler, Cris Rose, Sichi, Phil Corbett, ILoveDust, Jon Burgerman, Iksentrik, Luanrtik, Veggiesomething, Okkle, Doktor A, and more!

Lunartik will be doing an official signing in Forbidden Planet on the 5th Sept [details].
PRESS-CONTINUED: Matt will be at most venues to sign the toys and will be bringing some extra special brews along! So be sure to make a note of your nearest tour to land the chance to buy some rare flavors including The Earl, which is only available from www.lunartik.com and as part of this tour.
No fear if you're unable to attend any of the events and wanna grab yourselves a cuppa - get them here online :)
