About the event
Join us for a unique hands-on workshop in collaboration with Mei Leaf Teahouse, bringing together the mindful craft of bamboo basket weaving and the artistry of traditional Gong fu tea.
Over the course of two relaxing hours, you'll learn the fundamentals of bamboo weaving and create your own handcrafted bamboo basket under guided instruction. As you weave, you'll also be introduced to the principles and rituals of Gong fu tea preparation, with a curated tea tasting hosted by the Mei Leaf team.
This workshop is an invitation to slow down, connect with natural materials, and experience two traditional crafts that share a deep appreciation for patience, attention, and craftsmanship.
Whether you're completely new to weaving or simply curious to explore a creative morning with tea, this session offers a welcoming and immersive experience.
