Chabu 茶布 - Tea stageTeaware is not for sale.

This chabu was named "Cosmic" by a few Instagram guests. Pigments imprint creates a captivating landscape. It looks like a negative of the night sky picture. The stunning and hypnotising effect was achieved. It will be a great compliment to your meditative tea session. During my summer stay on Gotland, an island in the Baltic Sea, I’ve found old rusted chunks of iron on the beach. For a few months, it was lying around my workshop and waiting for its time to shine, or rather to rust further. Finally, iron and Dian Hong leaves were wrapped into the rescued cotton fabric from a second-hand shop and left for a week to create an imprint of pigments. Upon unwrapping the bundle such a stunning result was found. It looks different on the back of the fabric and can be used on both sides. Pigmentation is colourfast but may gently fade with time and exposure to sunlight as well as tea drops will add to the existing pattern.

I love working with textiles and have adopted slow traditional methods of treating fabric and dyeing it with natural pigments that come from plants and metals. I aim to disrupt the ways Nature work as little as possible.

It can be hand-washed and ironed with cotton settings.
