This is a fun activity in Holloway, London

Co-hosted by brut tea & Meiro Ceramics

Matcha Tasting and Matcha Making, hosted by brut tea (50 mins)
This part of the workshop is led by brut tea, a London-based independent tea brand specialising in modern Asian tea culture.
You’ll be guided through a mini matcha tasting, where you’ll try and compare different matchas while our facilitator shares the story, origin, and what makes matcha so distinctive from other teas. You’ll then learn how to prepare matcha properly at home, from whisking technique to water ratios, before making your own oat matcha latte to enjoy!

Matcha Bowl Making, hosted by Meiro Ceramics (60 mins)
Then, you’ll get creative with clay — shaping, designing and glazing your own chawan (matcha bowl). Expert instructors guide you through each step of hand-building your bowl. Working with premium clay and professional tools, you'll learn to shape, smooth, and personalise your piece with hand-painted designs. The workshop takes place in our serene studio space, where everything has been carefully prepared for your creative journey.

The Finishing Touch
Your bowl will be professionally glazed and fired after the workshop, ensuring it's both food-safe and beautiful. In three weeks, you'll collect your finished piece – a meaningful creation that bridges centuries of tradition with your personal artistic expression.

Collection Options:
- Pickup: Free.
- Shipping: £6 (UK).

What’s included:
• Matcha tasting and hands-on whisking session
• Make your own handmade matcha bowl
• All materials, tools and tea included
• A warm, calming afternoon with like-minded people

Perfect for: a creative weekend activity, a cosy date, or a mindful gift idea.

Really fun time and well worth doing! As per other comments, would recommend coming with a design for your bowl in mind as there's not too much time to paint.

We sampled 3 different teas and the teacher explained the history behind matcha along with the reasons for the varying taste. Then we got to try making our own matcha drink (hot or cold) using Brut Tea’s matcha which was really nice. Shaping and decorating our bowls from balls of clay was so much fun. They walked us through each step and honestly just wish we had more time!

The teachers were friendly and insightful. Overall I had fun and learnt quite a bit in the short amount of time. Only thing that would have made the whole thing even better was if it was not as highly priced for a 2 hour session.

The matcha tasting was very informative and interesting. I also thought the bowl making process was very thorough and we could take our time witch each step, the class was overall nice and relaxed and it didn’t feel like we were being rushed to finish. The instructors were both lovely.
