Parlor Night: Incense Making
We live in a time of visual saturation, where our sense of smell is often overlooked in favor of endless scrolls and screens. Yet, scent offers us a powerful gateway to presence, memory, and joy.
In this immersive 30-minute session, artist Mia Reiko Braverman invites you to slow down and tune in through the sensory art of incense. You’ll craft 4–6 all-natural incense cones and explore fragrance as a tool for grounding, creativity, and ritual.
Each session has room for 8 reserved spots so space is limited!
