Join us for a collaborative two-part workshop, where you will create both a ceramic incense holder and a set of handmade incense.
Saturday July 18th
During the first session, Jamiee and Andy of house mouse will guide participants through handbuilding a ceramic incense holder designed to complement the type of incense they will later create, whether stick or cone. Participants are welcome to create a purely functional piece or explore more sculptural and expressive forms, using clay to create a thoughtful object for daily ritual. We’ll consider how the vessel catches ash, holds and directs smoke, and integrates function with sculptural form, with opportunities to add texture and carved details as well. At the end of the session, participants will select a glaze color for their work.
Each person’s ceramic piece will then be glazed and fired, ready for pickup at the second session two weeks later. In part two, participants will return to learn the art of incense making, creating a custom set of incense to take home alongside their finished ceramic holder.
Saturday August 1st
Join multidisciplinary healer and herbalist, Allie Brown, for the incense crafting part of our Ember & Earth workshop. Learn to craft hand rolled and cone incense blends inspired by the vibrant energy of summer, using resins, powders, herbs, such as sandalwood, frankincense, rose, and chrysanthemum.
Burning incense can be used as a mindfulness practice, transforming the sensory experience of smoke and scent, to one of present-moment awareness and grounding. Explore the spiritual science behind incense, and discover how this ancient practice can support emotional transformation, energetic cleansing, intuition and more.
Smoke moves in fluid, ever-changing patterns—rising with warmth and gently dispersing as it cools. Across many spiritual traditions, it is seen as a bridge between the physical and unseen realms, carrying prayers, intentions, and offerings while symbolizing purification and transformation.
