The Thousands

They’re Douglas & Hope plates with work from Melbourne creatives including Dawn Tan and Dylan Martorell on them. An illustration of a burger! An owl with two heads! A monster! Eatin’ off some melamine on my mezzanine. Doo-de-doo. Smothering my crumpets in that margarine. Any of you dis’ my melamine I put yo’ head on the guillotine. Boyfriend be taking me on picnics where we use our melamine. Cooking up home-made burgers using pressurised kerosene.

In other Douglas & Hope news, Cath Hope has gone to the country. She’s spending some time at the Newstead Butter Factory and next weekend is an open weekend. You can have a look at the old butter factory she’s working in. You can buy some melamine plates. You can have some of Cath’s tea, coffee, bulboar snags and kiwi scones. Apparently they’re better than ours.

The Butter Factory open weekend is on Sat Dec 3, 10am-6pm and Sun Dec 4, 11am-5pm. More info over ‘ere.
