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.

The pottery teacher was lovely, friendly and informative. I had a great time creating the bowl, but unfortunately had to rush the painting. I wish there was more time allocated to the pottery side.

Awesome & sweet instructor for the matcha tasting: educational and low-stakes. You got to really taste the difference between the types of matcha offered, and I learned a lot about its history and all the factors that go into its production. Pottery instructor was great as well. Was super helpful and gave clear directions for crafting the bowls. Overall had a great time, very chill and we drank so much matcha!

I attended this event with my daughter as part of a birthday gift. We were welcomed by our teacher and joined a nice small group of 8. Both teachers for matcha tasting and pottery were friendly and informative. Learned about origins of matcha and tasted different blends before making our own matcha latte to enjoy while making our matcha bowl. New to pottery so this was an easy introduction and very possible for a novice like me. Painting was a therapeutic end to the session. Looking forward to receiving our bowls in a couple of weeks.
