Tumble down the rabbit hole and grab a paint brush, for this week we’re painting tea cups and sipping fine tea for Craft Night at the Etsy Labs! Join them for this tea-themed evening — whether you’re in Brooklyn, or anywhere in the world.

Stop by for their weekly Craft Night in their online classroom, the Virtual Labs, for live online demos. Aya Rosen from LoucheLab will host an online workshop highlighting her ceramic painting techniques at 5 p.m. ET in the Virtual Labs. At 6 p.m. ET, Andy from Adagio will share tips on tea preparation and a bit on the history of tea. (Click here to see what time 5 p.m. ET is in your hometown.)

As ever, you can join Craft Night in person at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn anytime between 4-8 p.m. at 55 Washington Street, Suite 512 in Brooklyn, New York. Craft Night is a time to make things, sharpen your craft skills and connect with fellow crafters… and drink tea!

If you are attending Craft Night virtually this week and would like to craft along, you’ll need to gather the following supplies:

-A piece of china to paint. It may be any white china, ceramic or porcelain.
-1 fine tip Pebeo Porcelaine 150 marker. I used 08 Anthracite Black.
-A few colors of Pebeo Porcelaine 150 paint. I used 43 Ivory, 18 Sapphire Blue, 20 Turquoise, and just a tiny bit of 05 Coral Red, 01 Citrine Yellow, 10 Tourmaline Red.
-A paint brush or two, a pallet to mix paint on (I use a plate) and a few cotton swabs to fix mistakes
-Rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner
-A standard kitchen oven to bake the piece and set the colors
