What you'll do

Looking for something truly special to do in Melbourne? Immerse yourself in the ancient art of Chinese incense-making, a tradition passed down through generations.

In this workshop, you'll begin by choosing from three exquisite scents: sandalwood, floral, or cypress. Guided by skilled artisans, you'll learn to blend these aromatic ingredients with a special binder to craft your own personalised incense mixture.

Next, dive into the creative process using cutters, texture tools, and letter-transfer techniques to shape and design delicate incense ornaments. Along the way, you'll uncover the rich cultural significance behind each step of this beautiful craft.

By the end of the session, you'll leave with your handcrafted incense ornaments, ready to dry at home. Once dried, attach them to the provided lanyard to create a charming pendant that can be hung in your car, home, or office, where it will release a gentle, soothing wood fragrance.

Don't miss this memorable opportunity to blend creativity, culture, and tradition. Book your spot today!
