Crafting Your Bowl

Select your preferred glaze from our studio’s beautiful, custom-made palette to finish your piece. Your ceramics matcha bowl will be ready after around 5 weeks.


Join us for a slow, sensory Saturday morning by the canal in Hackney Wick. In partnership with Alchème Studio, a London-based studio for curated tea experiences and mindful rituals, this exclusive pottery workshop in London pairs the art of traditional matcha preparation with the craft of making your own matcha bowl.
Designed for complete beginners and tea lovers alike, it's a two-hour invitation to slow down, connect with your senses, and create something truly your own.
What to expect:
  • A matcha ritual to start the day -- an elevated experience using only ceremonial-grade matcha.
  • Expert guidance and exploration of the history of matcha and its significance.
  • Make a bowl of your choice from clay and learn new hand building skills.
  • Choose a glaze and the team will complete your project, ready for firing.
  • We ask that you only fire the pieces you truly love to support sustainability -- the studio will fire one piece per student.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created your own handmade matcha bowl and enjoyed a calming experience that combines mindful tea rituals with the art of ceramics.

  • Your ceramics handmade matcha bowl after 5 weeks.
  • All clay, glazes, aprons, and basic tools are provided during the class.
