Start the class with an exclusive look inside the masterfully crafted Japanese Teahouse, where a Meijer Gardens staff member will explain the art of chanoyu, or tea ceremony. View unique works of original Shigaraki pottery from Meijer Garden’s private collection, handmade by master ceramicists in Shiga, our sister-state in Japan. Afterward, head back to the classroom and learn how to create a set of two tea bowls of your own using hand-building techniques. Projects will be kiln fired off-site and returned to Meijer Gardens for pickup.
