Finding Stillness in the Work of Our Hands
There’s something about touching clay that pulls you into the present moment. You can’t rush it. If you force it, the walls collapse. You breathe, you wait, you try again. Slowly, it becomes something.
Chai feels the same way.
When the water heats, when the spices open, when the whisk or the spoon hits the cup—your hands remember what the mind forgets: to slow down, to pay attention, to feel the weight and warmth of ordinary moments. Making tea can be a ritual. A reset. A small return to yourself.
At Jacob’s Well Chai, we truly believe that the things we create with our hands shape us.
Clay becomes a vessel. Tea becomes a companion. Both ask for patience and presence. Both remind us that good things take time.
And maybe that’s why we connect with the pottery community so deeply—because we are trying to build spaces where we can breathe again, where craft matters, where the process is as important as the finished piece.
If you’re here from the workshop today, we’re honored to share tea with you. We hope your cup becomes part of your practice—something to hold when the world feels fast, something that helps you slow down and stay grounded.
Make Something With Intention
Once your pieces are fired and come home to you, try brewing tea in them. Sit with it. Smell the steam. Take the first sip slowly.
That’s the invitation:
To create. To breathe. To notice. To return.
