Creating Tea Bowls from Bamboo (Kochi)
In preparation for our outdoor tea gathering in Afan's Woodland, we decided to embrace the spirit of the forest in a uniquely "Afan-style" tea ceremony, crafting our own tea bowls from bamboo.
We went cut the necessary bamboo in the bamboo grove and then sawed it into the size of a tea bowl. We carved the rim with a small knife, smoothed the surface with sandpaper, performed an oil removal process by searing it with fire, and polished it with a cloth.
