What happens
You sit down to a set table and work through it together: how to sit and where your hands go, the napkin, the cutlery from the outside in, the glassware, conversation, and the graceful exit. Everything is practised, not just described, with correction that is kind and specific. The afternoon is meant to be enjoyable; the table is a real one and so is the tea.
Who it's for
A first step for anyone curious, and the format friends book together. It is also where most people meet the method before choosing a longer program.
What you leave with
A dinner table that holds no surprises, and a small set of decisions made once so you never have to make them under pressure again.
Seats are limited to fourteen. Book a session to ask about the next Atelier.
