Unplug, unwind, and make something by hand at our feel-good, magical matcha tasting + pottery workshop — the perfect blend for matcha lovers and creative spirits.
You'll start with a guided matcha tasting hosted by Wishing Cup, featuring a flight of their favorite matcha blends. Then, roll up your sleeves and craft your own mugs, tea cups, or espresso cups from clay. Add your own flair with textures, patterns, and handles, then let us fire and glaze them for daily use. Ideal for date day, a cozy friend outing, or treating yourself to a creative afternoon of self-care.
The Wishing Cup invites its community members to write down a wish - to give voice to their biggest, wildest dreams – and for some, they'll bring those dreams to life. After the tasting, you'll learn a little bit more about the Wishing Cup's mission and you'll have a dedicated moment to make a wish yourself. You can learn more about Wishing Cup's wish-making and wish-granting here.
Bonus: We donate $1 from every ticket to mental health initiatives. Learn more here about which non-profits we’ve given back to so far, and how you can pick who we support next.
- Matcha Tasting: Kick things off with a 20-minute matcha tasting led by the Wishing Cup's expert team, featuring three of the Wishing Cup's matcha flavors.
- Make A Wish: After the matcha tasting, you'll have a dedicated moment to write a wish and drop it in the wishing cup.
- Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, step-by-step pottery workshop guided by an expert Pottery with a Purpose host.
- Pottery 101: Learn foundational pottery hand-building techniques like pinch pots and coils, then turn them into hand-build 1–2 ceramic mugs, tea cups or espresso cups and add handles, texture, or surface designs.
- All Supplies Provided: We bring the clay, tools, and materials — you just bring yourself.
- Glazing, Kiln Firing + Shipping: Your ticket includes two professional kiln firings + glazing for one mug. You can purchase an upgrade for additional pieces here. This is essential so your pottery pieces are food-safe and waterproof. Pick between white or clear glaze, and we will take care of the rest. You'll choose between pickup or having your piece(s) shipped back to you when they're ready.
- Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, and friend groups alike.
Want to add color? Painting is not included at this workshop. You can sign up here for a dedicated Pottery Painting Session at the Pottery With a Purpose Studio in Needham MA.
