Sacred Smoke - The Art of Incense Making

‘Par-fumen’, the term from which perfume is derived, means through smoke. The practice of burning fragrant botanicals, such as resins and woods, has existed for millennia to cleanse spaces, honour deities, transform states and heighten the senses. I am please to be back at the MudGang pottery studios this May, for an introductory session exploring the ancient and devotional art of incense.

In this fun, immersive session, you will not only make 2 types of incense but design your very own hand-crafted incense holder to burn your ceremonial blend in!
