Yūkari x Nari | Tea Rituals workshop
'Tea Rituals' - Tea scoop and Cup making workshop is happening once again, this time at Yukari's studio in Alppila, Helsinki.
The Cha Ze (茶则) or Tea scoop is an incredibly personal tea tool used for weighing, holding, analyzing, and showcasing your favorite tea before brewing. If you've been following Nari's work, you'll know they are lovers of Gong Fu Style of brewing, and if we go back to the roots of Gong Fu in Chao Zhou, we find that the OG Cha Ze is a simple piece of paper. While its purpose hasn't changed, its form has developed into a vehicle for personal expression and style.
In this 2,5 hours workshop, you will make your own ceramic tea scoop as well as your own ceramic tea cup to accompany it.
Nari will begin with a gong fu tea session where you will see the Cha Ze in action, while also drinking a tea to get the creative juices flowing for the session ahead.
Yukari will then guide you through the following steps to make your very own personalized ceramic tea scoop and cup:
- drawing/making paper pattern
- making clay slab. Use of inlay and marble techniques to create patterns and drawings on the clay slab. Use of dark brown and light beige clays
- tracing, cutting, shaping the clay slab in a tea scoop shape
- pinch pot technique to make teacup with foot
Various teas will be served throughout the session.
This workshop is suitable for adults with some or no experience in ceramics, that are interested in tea rituals and their process.
Participants will be able to choose from 3 different glazes at the end of the class. All materials included.
Pieces made during the workshop will be glazed and fired in the following days and will be ready to pick up from December 10th at Yukari’s studio. You can email to oi@danielleyukari.com to schedule a pick up date and time. Shipping is also available subject to a fee.
