TAG to host ‘Sip & Soul Collage’ Jan. 30

Tappahannock Artists Guild will host “Sip & Soul Collage” with May-Lily Lee on Thursday, Jan. 30, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at TAG, 200 Prince Street, Tappahannock.

The workshop will be part journaling and part collaging and requires no art skills, a release said. The process leads participants on a path of sacred self-discovery. Magazines, photos, books and other media will be used to gather and assemble visual imagery to create cards “as totems of your inner work,” a release stated. Lee has herself created more than 300 Soul Collages.

A six-time regional Emmy award-winner, Lee has been called “Virginia’s Storyteller” for her more than two decades of work in Virginia Public Broadcasting. She began her path in journalism by graduating at age 19 from the University of Maryland, where she earned a scholarship as a Maryland Distinguished Scholar. She is a prominent figure in the fields of television and radio, particularly in Virginia.

Lee was host/senior producer of Virginia Currents, host of the academic quiz show Battle of the Brains, and host/producer of a number of other weekly series including Capitol Events, Virginia Legislature: The Week, and Women’s Forum, in addition to documentary and live specials. She’s also moderated a number of Virginia’s gubernatorial and statewide debates.

Following her work on Virginia Public Television, Lee moved to Virginia Public Radio in Roanoke, where for two years she hosted the weekly statewide talk show Virginia Conversations. For her work in broadcasting, she was inducted into the Silver Circle of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences (NATAS-Chesapeake Bay region), whose honorees represent hallmarks of broadcasting through their excellence and innovation.

Participants may bring their own beverages to sip during the workshop. Advance registration is required, and the fee for participation is $5 per person. Register on TAG’s website, tapparts.org.
