workshop

This experience invites participants into a moment of slowness and conscious creation, where each person shapes their own tea object while exploring the beauty of imperfection through the philosophy of wabi-sabi. Set within an intimate and carefully curated environment — soft lighting, candles, and natural elements — the act of making becomes a ritual, connecting body, matter, and the senses.

• Hand-building ceramic workshop

• Creation of tea cups and small utensils

• Introduction to wabi-sabi philosophy

• Guided tea ritual led by the artist, using her ceramic collection

• Immersive sensory setting (light, scent, sound, material)
