Turn and Gild a Tea Caddy
Adult | Available
Spend five evenings making and decorating a tea caddy from solid hardwood—just the way tea-lovers stored those precious loose leaves in the old days. After you shape the pieces for the caddy at the lathe, you’ll apply metal leaf to the inside and painted decoration to the outside. At the end of the week, you’ll have an heirloom-quality addition to your kitchen.
