Fun with Tea as Art

Leave a comment

I’ve been so busy sharing tea and making new plans for sharing tea, I’ve not taken time to update you here.

Tea as beverage, tea in cooking, ….. tea in art? (besides paintings and drawings of people enjoying tea)

On Friday 2/1/13, a new exhibit opened at the Contemporary Art Museum [Jeremy Deller’s “Joy in People”]

Part of the exhibit includes a replica of Valerie’s Snack Bar from Manchester England, and part of the “art” is that complementary tea is served in the exhibit.

Guess whose tea is being served?  Every day of the exhibit, through 4/28/13, good tea is being shared.  I was honored to be asked.

As a further tie-in, I provided individual teabags for an art project for Family Day, and this is what Maria created with those.  What Fun?!

 

 

Sharing Good Times… Sharing Good Tea…
