Matcha Bowl Making & Kohakuto Wagashi Workshop

The holiday season can feel fast, loud, and overwhelming.
This workshop invites you to step out of the rush and into a quiet, creative moment.
- Event Overview -
Join us for a Matcha Bowl Making Workshop, guided by Andrea Copp, where you’ll slow down, shape clay with intention, and enjoy the calming act of making something with your own hands. Alongside pottery, participants will also experience kohakuto cutting—transforming traditional Japanese amber sugar into shimmering crystal-like wagashi.
When the bowl is complete, it becomes more than pottery:
it becomes the bowl you’ll welcome the New Year with — your first matcha of 2026 made with a vessel you crafted yourself.
We’ll fire and finish your piece, and you can pick it up two weeks later, packaged with a small gift of the kohakuto you made.
