Description

Tea Time invites children and parents to gather over a shared freshly brewed pot of tea. Together, we will explore a variety of dried herbs from Convivium’s urban gardens and brew our own tea blend. As the tea steeps, children will take on various roles as they set the table and decorate in preparation for the conclusion of our time together: a tea party we’ve made ready for each other. This class is best-suited for kids aged 5-12. Registration is available on a sliding scale pricing structure, please read through all options before purchasing. Child only, and Child & Parent tickets available. If you would like to add an additional child, please contact us at [email protected].

Since 2017, Clarissa has volunteered with multiple food-based nonprofits, taught garden- and food-centered education, completed a farm apprenticeship, and earned multiple certificates in outdoor and garden-based education. She has co-facilitated a variety of trainings focused on food-centered education with elementary students and has been a presenter at the Iowa Farm to School and Early Care Conference. In her teaching, Clarissa emphasizes self-guided exploration, reflection, and community building. She has primarily taught preschool through third grade. SLIDING SCALE: Convivium is a nonprofit committed to helping increase accessibility to the tools and knowledge of how to grow and prepare your own food. As part of this commitment, and in pursuit of a more wholesome and secure food experience for all, Convivium is now offering most of our classes on a sliding scale. The sliding scale system allows for classes to be obtained at multiple price points, based on the circumstances of the participant. It allows folks who may otherwise be priced out of something to have the chance to take part in it. How it works When completing your registration, please self-select from the following three payment levels: Contributor: The contributor level is a pay-what-you-can option that allows you to do just that – pay what you are able to for the class, at this time. Please note there is a $5 minimum per the Eventbrite platform. If this minimum, or paying with a credit card, is a barrier, please call us at 563.557.2900. Supporter: The supporter level is the normal ticket price of this class. It covers all the supplies and materials needed, as well as the instructor fee. Sustainer: The sustainer level is a buy-one, give-one model that covers the complete cost of your class plus a small donation that helps supplement the cost of a Contributor level participant. By choosing this level, you are ensuring we can continue to offer this class in a way that is accessible and affordable to all – thank you for your generosity. A note on refunds: Convivium Urban Farmstead has a no refund policy for all classes and workshops. If you are unable to participant in the class after you registered, your fee will be donated to our pay-what-you-can sliding scale level, which helps to ensure our classes are accessible and affordable to all. However, if Convivium cancels or reschedules a class for any reason (weather, instructor illness, etc.), participants will be notified as early as possible by email and their registration will automatically be transferred to the date of the rescheduled class. In the case that the participant cannot make the rescheduled class date, Convivium will issue a gift card in the full amount of the class that can be used toward any future class. This gift card can be mailed to the participant or picked up at Convivium (2811 Jackson St. Dubuque, IA 52001). We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation.
