NEW: Watercolor & Tea in the Afternoon starts Nov. 14! Feed your creative spirit in an adult, music-filled setting each week. Discover the process of painting with a mug of tea and music with Ms. Sylvia! Classes will be held at the Decatur Recreation Center unless noted otherwise.

Discuss and interpret art as you mix your paint, choose your palette and make your own mark on paper and canvas. Bring watercolor pencils, a sharpener and the primary paints, paper, and 3 brushes to your first class. It’s helpful to place all your items in a carry bag.

We will always take time to drink tea and explore new flavors and music while we work. Occasionally if the class is small, we may take our class to a café or garden within walking distance. Remember a mug for tea!

Classes will be Thursday @230p-400p on Nov. 14, 21 and Dec. 5, 12 (no class on Thanksgiving Thursday) $95 for the 4-week series.
