Come one come all to a hands on weekly tea brewing class. Learn the simple steps to brewing a perfect, organic, all natural cup of hot or glass of iced tea any time. Do it at home, at work, on the road, literally anywhere you can get hot water (or cold water for cold brewed teas).

We will take all the mystery and angst out of tea brewing and explore the many health benefits of loose leaf and herbal teas. Find the one that is right for you with over 100 flavors and endless flavor combinations.

See you Friday evening!
Open to all ages . . .

The San Antonio River Foundation's summer camps at Confluence Park explore aspects of the natural environment and artistic process through daily projects, nature walks, community visits and artistic creations. This year, camps are offered for students ages 7-9 and 10-13.

Each day, students will learn about a different theme tied into the ecosystem of the river, park, and the communities that we live in. Much of the day will be spent making artwork that reflects our interest in the natural world. We will sculpt draw, and paint, work together and individually; learn to look and pay attention to things we may have overlooked before. Students should expect to spend time by the river and walking outside.

Mindful Making invites visitors of all ages to slow down and engage in simple hands-on creativity designed to encourage reflection, focus, and presence. Led by Ruby City’s Visitor Services team, this free drop-in program offers a welcoming and accessible environment where participants can explore making as a mindful practice while connecting more deeply with themselves, one another, and the ideas explored throughout the galleries.

For this session, visitors are invited to participate in two creative activities inspired by works in Sensing Meaning: Abstract Painting. In Ruby City’s main gallery, participants will explore the work of Michael Lazarus by creating hand-traced cutouts and patterns to form their own abstract compositions. In Chris Park, guests can experiment with watercolor techniques inspired by works by Spencer Finch, Pablo Picasso, and Francesco Clemente, exploring color, composition, and new ways of interpreting the world through abstraction.

Guests are welcome to drop in at any time and stay as long as they like. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials are provided.

***Registration is required***
