Since the days of ancient Egypt and Rome, incense has been used for purification, ceremony, devotion and pure pleasure. Today, with 5,000 years of tradition and aesthetic refinement at its core, the use of incense is reaching new levels of popularity.
Join me at Walworth Garden for a unique session exploring the ancient, devotional art of incense on this auspicious Halloween day. This creative, practical workshop focuses on using premium fragrant materials, such as resins, herbs; fruits; flowers seeds; spices and essential oils selected for their historic, therapeutic, fragrant and magical resonance. You will be introduced, via smell and touch to a variety of plant botanicals; understand their history, their uses and how to select and blend them to create your own beautiful and unique loose incense to use over the autumn and winter months. Further suggestions on ingredients, blending and adapting recipes at home will also be provided.
The fee is £75.00 and includes class notes, all materials, your handmade loose incense in a glass jar and botanical samples with some charcoal discs to take with your for home practice.
