Teabag Paper Art Workshop

Did you know your teabags can become art? Tea Bag Art is art using recycled tea bags. Teabags are dried and emptied to produce a thin paper that can be used in a variety of art projects. In this workshop Susan Detroy shows you how to convert a tea bag into multi-use art paper. You can enjoy the adventure of sourcing and creating reusable art paper, then making art with this unexpected household material. Once you have created the teabag art paper, you can make and play with it as an art medium. The paper can be adhered to another surface, collaged or used as a translucent cover. Your imagination is in charge. Your ideas are in free rein. Teabag art papers are used in many of Susan’s art pieces.
