Matcha & Clay Workshop | Matcha Tasting & Matcha Bowl Pottery

In this relaxing 2-hour experience, you’ll learn the mindful art of matcha — how to whisk, taste and serve — before crafting your own handmade matcha bowl to take home.

Matcha Tasting and Matcha Making — hosted by brut tea (50 mins)

This part of the workshop is led by brut tea, a London-based independent tea brand specialising in modern Asian tea culture.

You’ll be guided through a mini matcha tasting, where you’ll try and compare different matchas while our facilitator shares the story, origin, and what makes matcha so distinctive from other teas. You’ll then learn how to prepare matcha properly at home — from whisking technique to water ratios — before making your own oat matcha latte.

Matcha Bowl Making — hosted by Meiro Ceramics (60 mins)

Then, you’ll get creative with clay — shaping, designing and glazing your own chawan (matcha bowl). Expert instructors guide you through each step of hand-building your bowl. Working with premium clay and professional tools, you'll learn to shape, smooth, and personalise your piece with hand-painted designs. The workshop takes place in our serene studio space, where everything has been carefully prepared for your creative journey.
