This program will take visitors back in time to the late Victorian Era (1837-1901) when Frances Osborne Kellogg would have been a young lady in her 20s hosting and going to tea parties.
During the workshop, visitors will learn Victorian tea etiquette and the difference between the types of tea services, such as low and high tea.
Participants will understand and demonstrate the social “do’s and don’ts” of a tea party.
At the end of the program, visitors can take home handcrafted teas and teabags and tour the Osborne Homestead Museum where antique tea sets will be on display.
The workshop fee is $5, and refreshments will be served.
The Kellogg Environmental Center, 500 Hawthorne Ave., is operated by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. It is open 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
To register or for more information call 203-734-2513 or email donna.kingston@ct.gov. Space is limited.
