Embark on a journey through the ancient art of Chinese incense making with our 'Scent of Heritage' workshop. This immersive experience allows you to connect with traditional practices passed down through generations. Start by selecting your favourite scent from three exquisite options: Sandalwood, Floral, and Cypress. You'll then learn to blend these aromatic scents with a special binder to create your own unique incense mixture.

Under the guidance of skilled artisans, you'll master the use of an incense gun to craft delicate incense sticks, discover the techniques behind shaping tower incense, and learn how to make your own incense holder. This hands-on workshop not only teaches you the skills but also delves into the cultural significance behind each step.

At the end of the session, you will take home your freshly made incense sticks and tower incense to dry. Once dried, you can light your creations in the incense holder you crafted, filling your space with a fragrance that is both soothing and steeped in cultural heritage.

Join us to create, learn, and celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of Chinese incense making, leaving with not just your creations but a piece of history.
