Collaboration event: Creative You x Aine

By popular demand, we are running a second session in Thalwil on May 22nd at Creative You, a place where you can explore your inner artist; a love affair of design, art, creativity & community. (https://www.creative-you.ch/)

This collaborative workshop combines the art of Japanese matcha with creative ceramic painting in one seamless experience. Participants will be guided by Miki through an immersive introduction to Japanese tea culture, learning about the philosophy, aesthetics, and mindful practices behind the matcha ritual. The experience includes both observation and hands-on participation, allowing guests to connect deeply with the tradition.

Participants will experience:

• A guided demonstration of a Japanese matcha ritual

• Hands-on instruction in preparing matcha using traditional tools

• One bowl of freshly prepared matcha to enjoy during the session

• A Japanese tea sweet to complement and soften the flavor of the tea

• A take-home packet of single-use premium matcha powder

• One bamboo whisk to continue the experience at home

Alongside the matcha ritual, participants will take part in a guided ceramic painting session led by Creative You. Each guest will paint their own matcha bowl, with our artist offering guidance on how to work with beautiful colors and techniques. This creative moment encourages personal expression while crafting a meaningful, functional object to be used in future tea rituals.

The workshop is designed to feel calm, expressive, and intentional — blending cultural tradition with creativity and leaving participants with both a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture and a hand-painted matcha bowl they created themselves.
