A Visual Journey: Using Tea & Tea Bags with Judy Sklar

Bringing together our senses and storytelling, we will use tea as a medium, along with watercolor and/or gouache, and used tea bags to create your art. Join me on a journey to create unique art pieces using the humble tea bag.

For anyone with or without art experience. Be sure to bring a Mixed media or watercolor journal (5x7 up to 8x10”). Judy will notify students with a minimal list of supplies.
