One of the many projects painted by students at the studio in 2006 were tea sets inspired by designs of Jo Sonja. Thanks to one of my students, Kay, who researched, bidded, and collected tea sets from ebay, yard sales, and flea markets, everyone had their own unique tea set to paint. First, the pieces need to be sanded. We were fortunate to have someone that sand blasted them for us. Next they were painted with two coats of JS All Purpose Sealer and allowed to cure. Color selections were made in order to personalize each set to each individuals desires. This was followed by hours of inspiring and enjoyable painting.The results were fantastic and I wish to share the excitement with these pictures. As an extra bonus, all the tea sets have been invited to be on display at a "tea" for a church in Billerica, MA on Sept. 16, 2006.
