Oya Arts Studio, 265 Northrup King Building
A Mother’s Day Treat of Art, Intrigue
& Irresistible British Charm
Step into a beautifully curated afternoon of art, tea, and quiet indulgence.
Your table will be set with fine china and a three-tier stand filled with a selection of sweet and savoury treats—ready for you to enjoy at your leisure as you sip from a range of hand-blended loose-leaf teas.
As you settle in, you’ll begin painting your own solid wood hinged trinket box using guided instruction and elegant stencil designs. For those who appreciate a touch of razzle-dazzle, gold leaf will be available to elevate your piece.
This is a relaxed, social painting experience designed to be enjoyed at your own pace.
However… in true British fashion, things are never quite as proper as they appear.
The Scandal
It would seem there’s been a bit of a situation in Teabridge—a sleepy little village on the outskirts of London.
And for one afternoon only, we’re bringing the drama to Northeast Minneapolis.
The Royal Crumpet Recipe has gone missing from the village fête.
No one has been accused—yet—which, if anything, makes it all the more suspicious.
Whispers are circulating.
Teacups are being held just a touch tighter than usual.
And reputations… are beginning to wobble.
The recipe must be recovered before the bake-off. Teabridge has proudly held the title of “Least Soggy Bottom” for ten years, and the consequences of losing it would be… simply unthinkable.
The Reward
Nothing in Teabridge is ever stated plainly.
The truth is woven into the details—waiting, patiently, to be noticed.
Somewhere between pouring tea and your final brushstrokes,
you may find yourself noticing a few things along the way—perhaps even helping to solve the scandal.
While every guest leaves with their finished piece,
those who successfully piece together the scandal will be awarded
Teabridge’s highest distinction:
The Golden Spoon.
…and entrusted with the Official Royal Crumpet Recipe.
