Gallery archive: How do you drink your tea exhibition

✦ Studio Journal 005 ✦

Our tea journey began with a discovery of artist-made teaware. We fell in love with the bold shapes, colours, and the simple pleasure of holding something made by hand.

Somehow, drinking tea from a piece you love makes a small break in the day feel that much more special. It made us think differently about the humble tea break.

We spend 8 hours a day working, but we don’t always take our breaks seriously. We believe those 10 minutes can be more than just a pause. When we pay a little more attention to the tea we drink and the things we drink it from, a small moment in the day can become more playful and enjoyable.

From time to time, we host tea events and exhibitions when our studio schedule allows. Here’s a look back at our oolong tea tasting and teaware exhibition, How Do You Drink Your Tea, at Collingwood Yards in Melbourne.

 

We’re planning small Tea 101 sessions around the tea table. If that sounds like your kind of afternoon, tap here to join the waitlist →
