Experience the Japanese Culture of Tea! Students will learn about the ancient tradition of the Tea Ceremony as they shape their own bamboo tea scoops with artist Tadao Arimoto. The bamboo will be split with an ax, thinned with a chisel, heated to bend into a scoop and cooled in water to hold its shape. The workshop will conclude with a Chanoyu Tea Ceremony performed by Yoko Motoyama. There are limited spaces available for participants to share the Chanoyu Ceremony with their guests.

Tuition: $80, Chanoyu guests are an additional $15 each
Materials Fee: $10
