Coffee & Cup

Wabi-Sabi ceramic cups with specialty coffee and chocolate – Coffee & Cup experience
Coffee & Cup experience

Discover Coffee & Cup, an immersive Wabi-Sabi ceramics experience designed to connect you with the everyday ritual of coffee. Inspired by the principles of Yo no Bi and my Everyday Poetry and Haiku collections, this mindful creation workshop invites you to slow down, focus on your gesture, and shape your own ceramic cup.

During the Coffee & Cup experience, you will work with natural stoneware and wild clays, following intuitive techniques that honor your personal rhythm. No prior experience is required: every step is guided, allowing you to create a functional, unique cup that embodies your attention, presence, and creativity.

Explore how the shape, rim, and thickness of your cup influence the act of drinking, and enjoy a carefully prepared specialty coffee to experience the dialogue between cup and content. This moment of sensory awareness turns the simple daily act of drinking coffee into a ritual of presence and reflection.
