COFFEE CUPS AS ART

Gwyneth Leech makes art on paper coffee cups, even marks the type of drink, the date, location and occasion where she acquired each cup.  She started in 2007 and her work of over 700 cups is currently on display at the Flatiron Building's Prow Artspace in NYC.  She was sitting in the window, drawing, from September and to February 18th, adding more cups of art to the collection. 

  Visit a collection of her cups at her blog, Gwyneth's Full Brew

COFFEE AS AN ART FORM

Andrew Saur and Angel Sarkela-Saur have been painting with coffee for several years now. It all started one summer when they planned their first art show in a coffee house in Duluth, Minnesota. They wanted to come up with something unique and creative. Since their show was going to take place in a coffee house, they thought it would be appropriate to use coffee as their medium. They tried several techniques, such as using the coffee bean to sketch with and making pastels out of coffee grounds. These techniques were not successful. So they finally decided to use the coffee as a watercolor.
