Instructor Bio: Diane Lary is a native of Michigan, but has made her home in the Redlands of South Florida. While growing up, Diane had a talent for drawing, but her interest in science prevailed and she received her degree in Biology and began a long career in the biomedical field. It was much later that her early interest in art resurfaced as a desire to pursue watercolor painting. She found time to study watercolor techniques by attending local workshops sponsored by the Miami Watercolor Society and also attended Plein air watercolor classes at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden. Here she was able to capture the true beauty of bright light and vibrant color, which expresses the tropical foliage of Florida. Now retired from corporate life, she devotes her time exclusively to watercolor and her efforts have been rewarded with numerous awards and accolades for her paintings.

As our society grows more mindful with our consumption habits we are excited to introduce ideas about how we can raise the vibration of our cocktail creations through tea and botanicals. Not only will we explore what true tea is (any beverage derived from the plant camellia sinensis), we will learn how utilizing tea in cocktail mixology can contribute to the shift in energies in our environments. Along with our exploration of the multitude of flavors that blend well with tea, we will taste and learn how to build cocktails, as well as interesting zero proof drinks with tea. We will also discuss tea bitters and how they work in creating more complex layers in building cocktails.

Kids will learn the design thinking process and apply this method to solve various fun & exciting challenges and then actually build their ideas with the tools and technologies at the lab to make it come to life! Design thinking is a 5-step approach to solving problems. It encourages the designer to think of the person that they’re creating the product for – and consider many factors as they determine how to create the object.
The 5 steps are: empathize with your client, define the problem, sketch out many ideations, prototype the best solution, and test to see if it actually solved the problem. Design thinking is a methodology that extends beyond design and instills a valuable set of tools to approach nearly any problem or challenge your child can encounter in life! Upon registering, you will receive an email to confirm when you can pick up your materials kit before the workshop.

About this Event
We refer to tea as Liquid Meditation and for good reason. Sitting with tea in meditative contemplation is a wonderful way to honor yourself and balance your mind, body and soul. A tea ceremony is a quiet, contemplative, moving meditation, as you focus on the tea and yourself. While you sip the tea, you will relax into the calm and stillness surrounded by the beautiful surroundings of Fairchild. It’s a great way to take a break from our busy lives and to relax with a hot bowl of tea.

Instructor Bio: Diane Lary is a native of Michigan, but has made her home in the Redlands of South Florida. While growing up, Diane had a talent for drawing, but her interest in science prevailed and she received her degree in Biology and began a long career in the biomedical field. It was much later that her early interest in art resurfaced as a desire to pursue watercolor painting. She found time to study watercolor techniques by attending local workshops sponsored by the Miami Watercolor Society and also attended Plein air watercolor classes at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden. Here she was able to capture the true beauty of bright light and vibrant color, which expresses the tropical foliage of Florida. Now retired from corporate life, she devotes her time exclusively to watercolor and her efforts have been rewarded with numerous awards and accolades for her paintings.
