Kintsugi House will be back at the April Gather Art Market with a few new things for spring. Alongside hot and cold-brew Japanese teas, I’ll be experimenting with something new: my first matcha shaved ice, inspired by Japanese kakigori. I’m especially excited to hear what people think, since it’s sparked plenty of ideas for tea-based shaved ice treats for the summer ahead. On the textile side, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio sewing lightweight tops and hats for the warmer season. This month’s market also coincides with the opening day of the Yancey County Farmers Market, making it a great time to come downtown and enjoy the start of the market season.
