🌿 Herbal Tea Blending + Pottery Workshop @ ARTime Barro
A First-Ever Collaboration Rooted in Ritual & Craft
We’re excited to introduce a brand-new workshop that brings together two grounding practices, herbal tea blending and handbuilt ceramics, for an evening centered on slowness, wellness, and intentional creativity.
This immersive experience invites you to connect with the healing qualities of botanicals while shaping a ceramic vessel entirely with your hands.
Experience the Power of Herbal Wellness
Herbal teas have supported wellbeing for generations, offering a gentle way to calm the mind and care for the body. In this workshop, you’ll explore how herbs can help:
Soothe the nervous system
Support digestion
Promote mental clarity
Reduce stress and restlessness
Encourage deeper sleep
Strengthen everyday wellness
You’ll discover how each plant carries its own energetic personality—warming, cooling, grounding, uplifting and how to blend them intentionally.
Learn Foundational Herbalism
The workshop begins with a guided herbal session led by Anima Mundis in-house clinical herbalist, Siani, who will walk you through:
The energetics of herbs
The benefits each botanical offers
How to blend by flavor, function, and intention
Sensory exploration through smell, touch, and taste
You’ll create your own custom botanical tea blend using a curated selection of therapeutic herbs.
Slow Down, Sip, and Create
After tea blending, we transition into a quiet, grounding pottery experience.
Just as herbalism encourages presence and intention, working with clay mirrors the same rhythm, steady motions, soft pressure, and the mindful slowing of breath.
Handbuilding Pottery Session
In the second half of the workshop, the ARTime Barro pottery team will guide you through creating your own:
Handbuilt ceramic bowl
Ideal for tea rituals, herbal blends, or simply as a meaningful handmade keepsake.
Your piece will be fired and glazed by our studio. You’ll select a glaze color before you leave, and your finished bowl will be ready for pickup in about three weeks.
What You’ll Experience
Learn foundational herbalism
Craft a custom botanical tea blend
Create a handbuilt ceramic bowl
Explore sensory-based rituals
Connect with others in a calm, communal setting
Enjoy a warm, creative evening designed for slowness
All materials are included. No experience required.
