Fort Lauderdale, FL, May 28, 2010 — Renowned artist, Nilda Comas, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida creates Mad Hatters Tea Party, featuring Grit Weinstein as Alice. Children dress in their finest clothing and will learn through art. The Mad Hatter and Alice will act out good manners and bad manners in a funny way to offer the children and fun and educational experience.
Mad Hatters Tea Party is an ongoing 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.on Saturday.
The goal of this workshop is that children learn and practice good manners while making art and having fun.
Asked about the workshop, Nilda replies, “This is a great way for children to have fun with Alice and the Mad Hatter while learning about good manners. It is a great event for Children’s birthday parties, too.”
“All ages and levels of of instruction are welcome to attend. Guests will build their own tea pot out of clay and paint their own unique place mat as well as learn to set the table correctly. Lunch and tea will be served.”
Classes will take place at the Legacy Art Studio of Nilda Comas, 207 SW 5th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 USA
Grit Weinstein, children’s book author and artist, portrays Alice.
The children must come dressed in their best. Children will wear aprons when working on messy projects but the rest of the time will be encouraged to move around and feel comfortable “dressed up”. The children will be given 10 words from the language of art. The children will be busy getting ready for the “Tea Party.” They will design their own place mat to be taken home and used again and again. They will trace on the place mat the correct placement of eating utensils (The place mats will be covered with permanent plastic). These place mats should be very personal and children may use crayons, markers or tempera when decorating them.
Children will make their own tea pot made out of clay which will be fired later when dry. After this project, children will set the table and take turns being host and hostess. The “little gentlemen” will help with the chairs for the “little ladies” to sit properly. They will pour their own tea correctly for each other and serve tea sandwiches, sconces, cream, sugar, small biscuits, and cakes. We will have 2 visitors to this party, the “Mad Hatter” and Alice which will join the children and talk about good manners and bad manners. They will act out both good manners and bad manners in a funny way for children to have fun while learning to use their eating utensils correctly, they will also learn not only about table manners but about behavior and themes for conversation that may or may not be brought up while at the table.
When the party is over children will take their place mats with them and say goodbye to all the guests and write a small note to the host and hostess thanking them.
