Join MOA’s 2025 Ceramic Artists-in-Residence, collectively known as The Third Muse, to celebrate the end of their residency with a showcase of their final project and a traditional tea demonstration.The Third Muse Project | 嘻遊记 is created by Wei Cheng (ceramicist), Su Jiangang (classic Chinese painter and calligrapher), and Janice Chan (ceramicist and tea master). Together, they have spent the last four months working alongside MOA’s ceramic collections and creating new works inspired by their research.
Their final project, “Listening to the whispers,” consists of ceramic works, calligraphy and performances which examine how tea-ware and related rituals have evolved over the centuries. The multidisciplinary team listens to the language of clay, ceremony and story. They respond to these whispers with a great shout of excellence on display in MOA’s Haida House as part of this showcase event.
Tea Sessions
Alongside the showcase, Janice Chan will offer intimate tea sessions for small groups. These gatherings create a quiet space to pause and experience tea with all the senses. Through simple acts of pouring, serving, and tasting, guests are invited to notice the subtle dialogue between vessel, water, and leaf for a moment of connection to nature, to one another, and to the present.
Tea session times: 12 pm, 1 pm, 2 pm and 3 pm
