Sip & Spill – Coffee Spill Art Class
Sip & Spill is a class for anyone! All you need is coffee, creativity, and a hint of clumsiness! Led by artist, Corinn Groom, she will introduce you to coffee spill art. While enjoying Graham’s 318 coffee, you will get to intentionally spill some coffee onto paper, let it dry, and then use black ink to outline the shapes you see and create your one-of-a-kind art masterpiece to bring home! No art experience is required and this class is for all ages! Bring your imagination and be ready to try something new and have a relaxing afternoon!
Meet Corinn! “I’ve been spilling since before I can remember… before I could even walk or talk, I was spilling. It’s incredible really, how much one can spill such as myself. It has not been one of those things that I’ve grown out of either. At the age of 28, I am still spilling but now I’ve decided to turn my lifelong quirk into artwork. I use coffee to firstly bring myself to life and then pour it across my paper to wake it up. After letting it dry, I outline it in ink and search for the shapes and characters my intentional spill created. It’s like looking in the clouds to see what has been created for you. I’m only uncovering what is already there. If you can take anything from my artwork, my wish is that you are able to see how accidents and mistakes can be a wonderful thing. It is all a matter of having a different perspective and learning to adapt.”
