INK

Using natural ingredients inspired by Company Drinks’ products, foraging forays, events and gatherings, we will make inks following traditional recipes. Here, we’ll find new expressions for materials that are otherwise discarded or composted.

POETRY

Not a poet? You are inside! While we wait for the inks to develop, we’ll gather words from magazines, AGM documents, and social media posts to create short poems about what Company Drinks means to us.
