Sun.Star Cebu - Sun.Star Cebu Weekend
Art meets tea afternoons
IT was an afternoon affair of tea appreciation and a celebration of art at Radisson Blu Cebu’s Dilmah t-Bar. Friends from the media channeled their inner creative in between cups of Dilmah’s tea of the month, the Seasonal Flush. Brushes took on the color and whimsy of life as Dr. Nanette Catigbe conducted the still life watercolor workshop during the media launch of “Art meets Tea” last March 17.
A doctor by profession, Catigbe shares her passion for art by holding workshops on calligraphy, watercolor, mixed media, and polymer clay. She also bakes up a storm with her cake business, Mucchio di Bella Pastries and Art, which specializes in beautiful hand-painted cakes. Her cake art has also been featured twice in Cake Central Magazine USA consecutively.
Catigbe, along with local Cebuano artists, lets you explore your artistic flair with Art meets Tea, a series of watercolor and calligraphy workshops at the Dilmah t-Bar. The coming weeks will be nothing short of imaginative as the following artists will be sharing their expertise:
March 19: Wilbert Wee (Weebong) on basic watercolor
April 2: Dr. Catigbe on modern calligraphy
April 9: April Mae Valencia-Carillo (First of April) on brush calligraphy
April 17: Dr. Catigbe on watercolor on freeform flowers
April 23: Meream Pacayra (Bored and Crafty) on free form botanicals
May 7: Dr. Catigbe on basic pointed pen calligraphy
Open up to a world of color and imagination as you discover Dilmah’s Signature Afternoon High Tea. Registration to the workshop is at Php 2,000 net per person inclusive of art kit and high tea buffet. Make this season of the sun vibrant and fun with “Art Meets Tea” at Radisson Blu Cebu.
