Explore a classic piece of traditional Japanese culture at an afternoon workshop at the Club.
Students will learn the history, etiquette and rituals behind the centuries-old practice of sado (also known as chado) while trying their hand at making a bowl of matcha with such utensils as a chasen whisk.
