   Tamara was invited to guest in a D.C. Charter School. Seniors in an advanced art class worked on planning, designing and installing an installation in a public space. Tamara worked with the classroom art teacher and directed students when she was onsite. Truly a team work situation!

Tea Tella and T De Silva Teach four workshops during the two day festival. Acrylic painting techniques are presented and all participants receive guidance and feedback.

What's more fun than making a plaster mask, in the fresh air? In this workshop students use plaster strips to create a mask that can  take the form and feature of the student. Plaster casts of the face and the arm/hand are dried and then painted. Designs are sketched out while the plaster dries. 

Awarded the Arts in the Park residency in 2019.  National Parks and Planning set up a competitive grant for artists at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. Tamara was one of five winners of the grant to create art outside in the gardens, as well as talk about art materials and techniques to any visitor. All artists in residence booked painting and drawing classes in the park for small groups.
