<br />
Our teahouse is now an apothecary. We carry over 75 different Chinese herbs and teas, and we can fill your Chinese herb formula for you in the house. We can then boil it and jar it for your future use, or you can sit back in the teahouse and enjoy it here!<br />

<br />
The use of Chinese medicine and apothecary to heal various ailments dates back a long time. It is a good alternative to modern medicine, or indeed a good complimentary practice. Even if you just have a headache that won't go away, swing by and see what we can do for you.<br />

In 2003, Gesang-Gottowt moved to Portland, Oregon, where she studied art at Marylhurst University. In 2009, she completed the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. This is her third solo-show since graduating; her work has also been included in group shows at Blackfish Gallery, GalleryHomeland and Worksound. Her thesis was a combination of photography, painting, sculpture and installation that used imagery of, among other objects, walls and fences to explore connections between the personal and up close with world politics. The paintings in the current exhibition are a continuation of this exploration of signs of inclusion, exclusion, belonging and the idea of identity that can come with it.</span><br />

The Japanese perfected this method of poetry, but its roots may lie in Qin dynasty China. In China, it was a spontaneous collaboration of master poets, in which each contributed lines that built on each other; each contribution played upon the meaning of the previous contribution, adding new meaning while also retaining the line of thought. The end result was a poem full of layers and personalities, capturing a dialogue through poetry.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Zhu Lin Renga is our own take on the tradition of Renga poetry.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">The Chinese character of <em>wu</em> 五 means 5. It looks like an hourglass. Each week, we will write a renga poem, with the help of 5 contributors, selected by chance through an impartial drawing. The 5 contributors will write 2 lines, going around the circle twice. At the end of the two turns, each will contribute one more line, for a total of 55 lines for the evening.</p> At the end of the season (we plan to have 4 seasons of 12 weeks of poetry), we will print the Renga into a handbound book on Zhu Lin Salon’s own printing press, illustrated by local artists, and publish it."<br />Thanks to Sara Kohl, who is spearheading this event.

We have iced green, oolong and green jasmine tea. Right now our most popular tea is Chrysanthemum and Chinese Wolfberry iced tea - an earthy flavored and antioxidant rich combination. Chrysanthemum works well as a cooling herb and is especially soothing for a sore throat. Wolfberry gives the tea an unique nutty flavor and provides Vitamin C and Calcium among other nutrients.<br /><br />We also have chilled salty plum tea for a buck!Bamboo Grovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927245776246026371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922835447559677243.post-43556403896079455342009-07-28T13:34:00.000-07:002009-07-30T15:25:50.913-07:00August Art Opening: 3 MusesFor this upcoming first Friday we'll be showcasing three Portland artists in our <span style="font-size:180%;">3 Muses </span>show. The opening reception will take place August 7th, 6 - 9 pm at the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.bamboogrovesalon.com">Bamboo Grove Salon Gallery</a> 134 SE Taylor (entrance on 2nd). We're excited to present original works by:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thorazos.net/">Julia Gfrorer</a>: Julia is a local artist with a dynamic body of work behind her. Her mastery of the human figure is shown off with bold line drawings that manage to capture intense motion and fluidity even in the quietest moment. She is a skilled printmaker and letterpress operator and frequently runs the Zhu Lin press at the Bamboo Grove.<br /><br /><img src="http://wwww.thorazos.net/work/julia_arms_07.jpg.jpg" height="580" width="800" /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.lindsaydearmond.com"><br /></a><a href="http://lindsaydearmond.com/portfolio.html">Linsay De Armond</a>: Lindsay is an accomplished painter and drawer whose interest in girlhood, the Victorian era and mental illness makes for an eery and compelling collection of work. She has shown all over the Pacific Northwest, most recently at Opposable Thumb Gallery + Cafe. When she's not making incredible artwork, she sometimes models for us at our weekly figure drawing session.<br /><br /><img style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in;" alt="http://openwidepdx.com/files/dsc0403.jpg" src="http://openwidepdx.com/files/dsc0403.jpg" height="598" width="400" /><br /><a href="http://www.elenacronin.com/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.elenacronin.com">Elena Cronin </a>: Elena is a figurative artist whose beautiful and emotional art follows in the tradition of Austrian art nouveau and expressionism. Her vivid new work centers on her own body as subject, and is drawn and painted with the intimacy of first person perspective. She was recently featured at the <a href="http://launchpadgallery.org/">Launch Pad Gallery</a> and at the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.pdxfinegrind.com">Fine Grind</a>.<br /><br /><img style="width: 513px; height: 479px;" alt="http://www.elenacronin.com/photos/30/original/self-portrait.jpg" src="http://www.elenacronin.com/photos/30/original/self-portrait.jpg" />Bamboo Grovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927245776246026371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922835447559677243.post-73978806127132922392009-07-24T18:46:00.001-07:002009-07-30T14:02:22.857-07:00Open Figure Drawing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGktvmc1F66qQ7lHgf_QvRIlGDoVp6-bn9KthGYTQAjxrG5Nqx-XiYQgxc37qV6CFFSVERZ79V_2WgxQyD5eT2H62dIpUX8LqzO1KpcxTbmoAYaiQRrmQtLPL6NMJT2APfHbpaAT1Eg/s1600-h/bamboo3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGktvmc1F66qQ7lHgf_QvRIlGDoVp6-bn9KthGYTQAjxrG5Nqx-XiYQgxc37qV6CFFSVERZ79V_2WgxQyD5eT2H62dIpUX8LqzO1KpcxTbmoAYaiQRrmQtLPL6NMJT2APfHbpaAT1Eg/s320/bamboo3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362208315656181858" border="0" /></a>The Bamboo Grove will be offering weekly open figure drawing sessions starting this Sunday at 1 pm.

Our model this Sunday is local figurative artist <a href="http://lindsaydearmond.com/splash.html">Lindsay De Armond</a>, whose work we'll be featuring in next month's gallery show. Poses will be clothed and unclothed.

Fischer</a> is our first summer artist, and his bright colorful pieces are the perfect compliment to this shift in the weather. Jonathan is based out of Seattle and shows all over the U.S., with work displayed in Chicago, San Francisco and L.A. earlier this year. His stenciled graffiti work is incredibly layered and detailed, and we're lucky to have so many of his canvas and paper works to display.

Our list of activities is growing, and it wont be long before we offer weekly figure drawing sessions, movie nights (on our awesome projector: Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman and other classics!), mahjong and SAKE (liquor lisence pending, very exciting).<br /></div><br /> We're tucked away in industrial Portland and sometimes miss out on what's going on outside this brick and mortar area, so if you've got art or event news that's happening off our block, let us know! We'd love to be more active in the Portland community. Email the owner, Gabe Weiss, at bamboogrovesalon@gmail.com and his many intern minions at bamboogroveassistant@gmail.com with your art shows, martial arts events, tea recipes... whatever you think we should know about.<br /><br /> The gallery and teahouse are looking especially nice right now with all our fresh summer flowers and live bamboo. We're right above the Tao of Tea warehouse so we always have something delicious and fresh in stock. Here's our current tea menu, at only $2 a pot with free refills!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">- Green Tea<br />- Oolong Tea<br />- Chrysanthemum Tea<br />- Peach Tea<br />- Licorice Spice Tea<br />- Raspberry Tea<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">-Earl Grey Tea<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The teahouse is open Monday - Thursday from 4 - 9 pm...and by chance.<br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Bamboo Grovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927245776246026371noreply@blogger.com0
