Join established ceramicist and tea ware maker Kim Whye Kee for a mindful moment over a cup of tea.

Reflecting on the desire for escapisms, Kim’s Universe in a Teacup offers up mindfulness as an alternative remedy to the urban fatigue. Amidst the urban haste, the tea ceremonies he conducts utilising handmade tea ware creates a moment of meaningful pause from the everyday. Post-brew, attendees pen a word or Chinese character on calligraphy paper that is subsequently displayed on a clothesline. With each passing session these writings progressively frame the site of the tea sessions with an encapsulation of the values that are held dear and precious.

Sessions are ticketed ($15)
