Experience Yixing teapot making in the place where the craft is at home. Your group has a private workshop with local artisan guidance and an English-speaking host. Watch demonstrations, work with Yixing clay, and take a tea break with Yixing teaware. For groups of four to six, two artisans guide the session. Afterward, your artisan refines and fires your teapot. Each guest also receives a Chinese-style name stamp, a framed workshop photo, and a small Yixing gift; your group receives a shared online memory page.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Optional pickup is available at Yixing Railway Station Parking Lot by advance arrangement. Please share your train number and arrival time after booking. After exiting the station, turn right, pass the bus waiting area, and continue to the parking lot. The host will meet you there. The studio is about 16 minutes away by car. Trains to Yixing are not included.
Meet at Kuai’s Zisha Studio, shown on Google Maps and Chinese map apps as “蒯氏紫砂”. The English name may not appear. We will send the exact Chinese address, map pin, and a driver-friendly address card after booking. The studio is in Yixing.
What to expect
4 hours (12pm-4pm): Enjoy key stages of teapot making with closer artisan support. Your artisan will complete the remaining steps after class.
6 hours (12pm-6pm): Explore the process in greater depth, with more time to shape and assemble your teapot. Guests can usually finish the clay teapot with guidance; your artisan will complete any remaining steps.
Both include tea, short breaks and clay-drying pauses. Groups of 4-6 have two artisans. Sessions end at the scheduled time.
Your piece is carefully refined, fired twice and fitted with its lid. Allow about 10 days before collection or dispatch, plus delivery time. Shipping costs extra. Despite careful handling, firing may cause cracks or damage, and some pieces may not be usable or suitable for shipping.
Return transfers from Yixing Railway Station are included by arrangement, outside class hours. Meals are not included; please have lunch beforehand.
Solo travelers are welcome; groups of two or more pay less per person.
