Step into our serene studio on Mount Tamborine and immerse yourself in a hands-on pottery class designed for matcha lovers. In this intimate wheel-throwing workshop (Max. 6 guests) just out in a request via email, you’ll craft two beautiful, functional pieces: a matcha bowl (Chawan) and whisk holder (Chasen) to become part of your daily tea ritual.

As you settle in at the wheel, you’ll be guided step by step by our experienced instructors in a warm, welcoming space. Whether you’re brand new to pottery or have dabbled before, you’ll feel inspired and supported as you shape your vision from premium Australian clay.

You’ll discover the meditative pleasure of working with your hands, each turn of the wheel and each curve you smooth bringing your pieces to life. The experience continues in a second class, where you’ll explore the art of glazing. Choose from hundreds of stunning glazes, including rare imported finishes, or ask one of our instructors how to work with underglaze to create intricate designs and patterns. Experiment with colours, layers and textures until your set reflects your unique style, perfect for your daily ritual.

By the end of both sessions, you’ll take home a handcrafted, completely one-of-a-kind matcha set that is beautiful, functional and steeped in your own creative energy.

Each sip will become a reminder of your artistry, intention and love for slow living. Come for the matcha, stay for the magic, and leave with a set you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
