MakerTea: Bring One Thing to the Table
A Shanghai gathering where 8–12 curious people bring something they have been exploring and talk without requiring a finished product, pitch deck, or business plan.
Field notes
MakerTea uses a small-table format for 8–12 participants, each bringing an object, project, discovery, or question rather than a formal presentation. Its first recorded session took place on Yongjia Road in Shanghai on 2026.08.30, with ten people and six shares; the account describes six unfinished projects and three unresolved questions. The site separates public documentation from private discussion: shared work can enter the Journal, while table conversation and personal stories remain off the record.
