Matcha Bowls

Our Matcha Bowl class is a two-hour, instructor-led pottery session where you'll hand-build your own ceramic matcha bowl (chawan) from start to finish. Your instructor will guide you step-by-step through shaping, smoothing, and finishing your bowl, teaching hand-building techniques suited for both first-timers and returning students.

Your unique and very special piece will be ready to collect, after two firings and glazing, two weeks later.

Skill Level: This class is designed for people who have had no experience and people who consider themselves beginners.

Don’t Be Tardy For The Party! Want to rock your class? Better come with a smile and arrive 10 minutes early!

  • What's included:   Expert tuition, aprons, all materials and tools, glazes and kiln firing,  – whatever you need will be provided. If a little clay gets on your clothes, don’t worry, it comes right out with water. And if a little clay gets on your skin, think of it as a natural exfoliant. So dress comfortably and have fun. 

    Once you're done,  we'll professionally finish and apply our studio glaze to your creations, your piece will be fired in a kiln and ready for pick up 10 days later. Your creation is food safe & dishwasher friendly.

  • COLLECTING YOUR WORK
    Once your pieces have been glazed (usually within 10 days of your class), you can come pick them up! Please call ahead of time so we can make sure your work is ready.

    Your pieces must be picked up within 30 days or they will become The Clay Co-op property.
