Workshops
I hold incense workshops in studios and venues across Australia. You work with real woods, resins and herbs, learn what each plant brings, and leave with incense you've made with your own hands.
Tickets are sold through each venue. Choose a workshop below to book.
Aromatica Materia
Sunday 22 November 2026, two sessions, 10am to 12pm or 1pm to 3pm. Art Department Studio, 13 Forbes Street, Woolloomooloo.
A sensory study of botanical scent, smoke and ritual, held with just ten guests, where we explore woods, resins, roots, barks, flowers and spices, learning how each one speaks and how they come into balance together, before you blend and hand roll your own incense to take home. Organic herbal teas and light refreshments are included, and no experience is needed. Tickets are $170.
Botanical Incense Crafting
Sunday 29 November 2026, 10am to 12:30pm. Little Lane Workshops, 4102/4 Daydream Street, Warriewood.
A hands on class in traditional incense making, working with sandalwood, frankincense and a palette of aromatic woods, resins and botanicals, where you discover how each ingredient shapes scent and burn before you blend, shape and finish a small batch of incense to carry home with you. My most comprehensive incense crafting workshop. Tickets are $155, and groups of four or more can use the code GROUP10 for 10 percent off.

Be the first to know
Workshops are kept small and often fill before they reach social media, so if you would like first word when new dates open, along with notes on the plants I am working with and new incense as it comes out of the studio, leave your details below.
Can't make a workshop?
If the dates don't suit, or you live too far from a studio, the Incense Alchemy at Home Kit brings the workshop to you, with everything portioned and ready so you can experience aromatic medicine created by your own hands, in your own space and in your own time. Kits are available to pre order now and will ship in mid December.
