Looking for unique things to do in Melbourne? Learn how to make Incense!

This immersive experience allows you to connect with traditional practices of Chinese incense making 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 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 a tower incense or incense flake 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, tower incense or flake insence to dry. Once dried, you can light your creations in the incense holder you crafted, filling your space with a fragrance that is soothing to your senses.

5/5 from Tommy Sung, attended Aug 2026: Very patient
5/5 from Jeffrey Lam, attended Aug 2026: Very interactive, especially it was a private class. But the instruction is straight forward and easy to follow.
4/5 from Bethany Sinclair-Giardini, attended Jul 2026: Very interesting workshop. Looking forward to using our incense at home!!
5/5 from Tiffany Tukimin, attended Apr 2026: I booked a class for my friend and I and it was one of the most enjoyable classes we've done in a long time! Our teacher Maggie was very patient and informative~ We enjoyed it very much and will definitely be booking for other classes here too.
3/5 from Chetna Chawla, attended Apr 2026: Decent experience, the staff are all very kind! But was quite busy the day we came.
5/5 from Felicity Addis, attended Mar 2026: This was a relaxing and informative class. Our teacher, Kristie was friendly, engaging and patient. We came away with 9 incense sticks, 2 incense cones and 2-3 clay holders to burn the incense with. We picked the fragrance we wanted to use, were shown each step and then worked at our own pace with our beautiful teacher available to help as needed. The hour sped by! We can’t wait to try our incense once it has dried in 3-4 days time.
5/5 from Nancy Nguyen, attended Mar 2026: Realy interesting
5/5 from Mel Nicastro, attended Mar 2026: I attended the Mixed Coffee Incense Making Workshop for Beginners today and it was such a wonderful experience Maggie was absolutely brilliant — so kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She guided me step by step through the incense-making process and made everything easy to understand, even as a complete beginner. I learned how to make my own incense from scratch and even created my own incense holder, which made the experience feel extra special and personal. The whole workshop had such a calm and creative atmosphere, and I learned so much. I left feeling inspired, proud of what I made, and excited to continue practicing at home. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to try something creative and hands-on!
5/5 from Alex Tran, attended Feb 2026: Our teacher was so kind and patient with us.
5/5 from Pia Calder, attended Jan 2026: It was delightful! My teacher was so so pleasant and attentive, a perfect guide. The steps of the process are clear and unfolded seamlessly in a beautiful, relaxed and friendly setting. You choose your scent, mix your ingredients, shape your incenses and as a surprise to me also create your own holder out of clay! I could have spent hours there chatting and creating, loved it! Big Smiles….
5/5 from Gabrielle Jarell, attended Dec 2025: An amazing group experience with a wonderful teacher.
4/5 from Serena Lim, attended Nov 2025: Christina was super friendly and always checked in during the self-guided incense-making session. Everything was easy to follow and the scents were lovely. Excited to try out the other workshops!
5/5 from Sabina Sysantos, attended Sep 2025: My friend and I had the loveliest time at this workshop! Really value for money as we got to make different forms of incense as well as holders. Our instructor was very kind and helpful, we really enjoyed learning the process of making incense. There was a good amount of guidance as well as freedom to explore and create by ourselves. Would definitely reccommend!
5/5 from Kyle Romero, attended Sep 2025: The instructor was so attentive:)
5/5 from Grace Lawry, attended Sep 2025: Fun and easy with nice instructor!
5/5 from Hannah Huntersmith, attended Jul 2025: Studio vibe was perfect! Was the only two there which was amazing and so looked after
5/5 from Suzannah Edwards, attended Feb 2025: We loved our incense making workshop. We made two different types of incense and two incense holders out of air dry clay. It was fun and interesting. My only suggestion would be that the products used to make the incense were not explained to us. But that really is a minor oversight. It is well worth doing this workshop.
5/5 from Mandy Ht, attended Feb 2025: Great class!
5/5 from Natasha Lock, attended Jan 2025: Fantastic class! Easy to follow, clear instructions from our instructor (who will make an excellent primary school teacher!). My husband and I had a great time playing with the incense and clay. Looking forward to burning the incense when ready.
5/5 from Yurika Yamauchi, attended Dec 2024: Had a nice and relaxing time with Ada! She was calm and attentive to details. I’m so happy with the shapes of my incense and the holder. I can’t wait to use them! I highly recommend this workshop
5/5 from Billy Wang, attended Dec 2024: Ada is great. The class is great and will definitely recommend it to other people.
5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: fun and relaxing, helpful teacher

5/5 from Tina Moorthy, attended Jul 2024: This was a fun and satisfying experience making your own hand made incense sticks. The method of making this is very simple and fulfilling. I got to take home plenty of incense sticks.
5/5 from Hope Tupai, attended Jul 2024: Very patient teacher and a very lovely character. My favourite experience was learning about the process of handcrafting and interesting facts about the culture.
5/5 from Evangeline C, attended Jun 2024: The experience was truly unforgettable. Our teacher was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing the rich history and cultural significance of incense. The venue was beautifully decorated and created a calming atmosphere. All materials were provided and of excellent quality. We learned how to blend natural ingredients like sandalwood and herbs to create our own unique incense. The class was definitely worth the money. What I loved most was the hands-on experience and the meditative nature of the process. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Maggie Ma, attended Jun 2024: This is my first try making insence, and the experience was really great! The teacher is gentle and friendly, my friends and I are all very relaxed and feel full of energy after this course, most importantly, we learned how to make solid insence, highly recommended!
