We are delighted to host a special workshop led by professional ceramic artist Judy Weddle, who will guide participants in creating their own matcha tea bowl.
Create a one-of-a-kind matcha tea bowl—crafted by your own hands.
Spending time touching the clay and shaping form becomes a quiet moment of connection with the spirit of tea.
