ONE DAY CHENGDU — Illustration & Coffee Workshop at Dazhongxiao Coffee Now Studio
Tell an illustrator about your Chengdu (a mood, a building, a smell, a person) and take home an illustration drawn just for you. Meanwhile, smell and touch Sichuan flavours like jasmine tea and Sichuan pepper, then taste three signature coffees made from them.
- A creative hand-drawn portrait
- A taste of local Sichuan flavours
- A signature coffee tasting
In this workshop, an illustrator draws your own picture of Chengdu, and a barista makes three coffees from the Sichuan flavours you've just smelled and touched.
Welcome to Dazhongxiao Coffee Now Studio, a shop run by an illustrator, Bolo, and a barista, Wanzi. The theme of this workshop is "ONE DAY CHENGDU".
Tell Bolo your impressions of Chengdu, and Bolo will draw a doodle that is yours alone. You can describe your mood, a particular building, a smell you noticed, the people you met — anything at all.
While Bolo draws, Wanzi will introduce you to some flavours unique to Sichuan, such as jasmine tea and Sichuan pepper, so you can get to know their aroma and texture. The ingredients you've seen and smelled then become the flavour source for this session's three signature coffees, which you'll make and taste together.
By the end, your one-of-a-kind doodle will be finished too. We hope you have a wonderful time at the workshop!
