12:30 pm - Teaware Through the Ages: An Evolutionary Journey
12:30 - 1:15 pm; Susanna Rossi
Join me on an adventure as we take a trip through tea history exploring and discussing the various incarnations and fashions of tea consumption in tandem with the various vessels that were developed to enjoy our favorite beverage. We will talk tea cups, tea bowls, tea pots, and everything in between as well as clay and glazes. I will bring a few examples from my personal collection to share for show and tell.
