Chawan

Join this pottery workshop to make your own chawan (tea bowl). In this 2-hour workshop, Helen from Secret Teatime will teach participants how to make one chawan using pinching, coiling, and carving techniques. Through this process, you will learn about key parts of a chawan, their function, how they relate to the other matcha making utensils, the tea and the ritual. After completing your bowl, you can choose the glaze colour. The pieces will be transported back to the studio for the finishing process. The final piece will be ready for pick up in 4-8 weeks at the Scarborough studio or shipping is available with extra payment. *disclaimer: sometimes accidents will happen during the process of making, transporting, firing, etc. Please note that Helen will try her best with the utmost care to ensure all pieces survive, but she is human and if your creation does not survive, she will contact you to arrange for an alternative solution.
