Bei Bei Book House x Ray Chan See-kwong: Always a Bottle at Home

“ Like holding a cup, this place slows one down.  ”

Following a winding path, you will find Bei Bei Book House in the fields. The hospitable volunteers generously offer homely treats. All are the owner’s favourites. Two retired social workers founded this space for visitors to have a break from the hustle and bustle. Here they can enjoy slow life, play with dogs and cats, listen to the birds and chat with new acquaintances.

Ceramic artist Ray Chan See-kwong tailor-made a series of vessels for this leisurely space. Over teas and wines, visitors can taste nuanced flavours of a place.

^{^ Always a Bottle at Home: Exhibition & Tasting Highlights}

Over a hundred unique ceramic cups crafted by ceramists Ray Chan See-kwong, countless bottles of home brews, an unceasing flow of homemade treats, a full house for every sharing, unimaginable hospitality by the Bei Bei community... Even the neighbourhood cat Curry dressed up and generously kept its belly up...

A participant spent a whole day there. "I wish there could be more gatherings like this. I am so happy to chat with different people."

" A simple cup and a homely environment bought people from all walks of life together. There they shared all kinds of drinks from home and tasted their stories. May these cherished tastes and memories be lastingly encapsulated in ceramics. " —Ray Chan See-kwong
