You can find this growing list of option on our Digital Offerings Page. We hope you’ll join us in this experiment!

Used teabags transform into a whisper light mobile for your window, echoing the translucent work of 1960s found object artist, Eva Hesse....
Eva Hess—Tea Whisperer is the second in Cat Kaufman's virtual series on at-home assemblage, "Every Little Thing." In the series, Cat shows you how to re-purpose everyday items found around your house into cool art projects. This is a perfect "at home" family art activity or just for the fun of it!
Cat is a mixed media artist with a studio in the SOFA Arts District. A former elementary teacher, she has been teaching art classes to adults and children for over 10 years. In collaboration with the Sebastopol Center for the Arts, Cat is offering this series of very special online classes for the entire family. Each class explores a famous artist from the past and provides a related art project using supplies that you can find in your own home. Classes are easily adapted to every age and experience level.
