FORMS BRING TASTE | Tea tasting with works by Aldo Bakker & Quanbin Dong

PRO-WORKSHOP | Tea Tasting & Teaware Pairing

Forms Bring Taste is a thematic tea-tasting workshop inspired by the exhibition Forms Bring Forth — A Dialogue Between Aldo Bakker & Quanbin Dong. Moving beyond passive viewing, the session invites participants to engage with and use the artists’ vessels—brewing, pouring, and tasting tea to experience form, weight, touch, and craftsmanship firsthand.

Led by Dutch tea sommelier Mariëlla Erkens, the workshop explores how objects “bring taste” through gesture and sensory engagement, bridging Chinese ceramic traditions with European tea culture. A light yet profound journey into how form shapes taste, perception, and dialogue.
