Rather than compost your used teabags, why not create individual miniature works of art or embellish your cards and journal pages with tiny teabag ‘canvases’? Teabag art is limited only by the shape of your teabag and your own imagination. The colour, texture and shape of used teabags, as well as the contents, can all add an interesting dimension to your art! No fine art skills required, we will be using mono printing, stamping and maybe a little stitching to turn a tired old bag into something bright and beautiful!
Please note there is a £5 material charge payable on the workshop day.
Please see below a link for a list of items to bring to the workshop.
What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
What you’ll need to bring with you
All art supplies (and teabags) will be provided, but feel free to bring along any teabags with interesting swing tags or unusual shapes. It could get messy, so bring an apron or wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messy.
