May Class Sign-Up
Coffee Painting with Barb Riestenberg Saturday, May 9, 2026

Please join us as we welcome Barb Riestenberg to DAGSO for the first time. Barb was born and raised in Hamilton County, Ohio where she is the third of five children in a mostly self-taught, creative family. In the early 2000's, she was introduced to the Society of Decorative Painters, and she joined a local chapter, which is where her education in art began. It was the local chapter that introduced her to painting conventions. The conventions introduced her to many mediums and styles of art, including, but not limited to watercolor and graphite. Over the years, she continued learning and she came across an article about someone who painted with coffee which intrigued her. She worked on figuring out how to use the coffee. After about 5 years of researching and experimenting, she developed a way to use coffee as a medium and eventually she found herself teaching her style of coffee art at yearly conventions.
