Creative Inspiration Workshop: The Exquisite World of Teaware at the Chitra Collection

You will be taken on a tour of the Chitra Collection, which contains almost 3,000 tea-related objects by curators Evelyn Earl and Grace Fannon. These exquisite items are a testimony to the significance of tea and the rich culture that it has inspired. There will be the opportunity to handle, study and draw a number of the objects.

The Chitra Collection is an extraordinary private museum of historic teawares. In 2011 Nirmal Sethia, philanthropist and Chairman of the luxury tea company, Newby Teas, set himself the task of acquiring the world’s greatest collection of teawares to record and preserve tea cultures of the past.
