Natural Incense & Ceramic Burner Workshop: Sunday, September 13th from 10am to 2:30pm
In partnership with Hard Broom, join us for this two-part workshop!
In part one of this workshop, we will explore the rich tradition and basics of natural incense-making, using all natural aromatic ingredients such as tree resins, wood barks and select botanicals. Following a guided recipe structure, we will craft unique incense cones with space for guests to riff and explore. The second part of the workshop, students will be guided through building a custom ceramic incense burner from clay slabs.
What to bring: Just yourself! All making, learning and writing materials are provided. Guests should expect to make about 2-3 batches of incense cones (~12-25 depending on the size). A take home drying box will be provided at the end of the workshop. Students will pick up their fired ceramic houses in 2 weeks. No experience necessary in clay or incense to participate!
Hard Broom is a Chicago-based ritual goods shop, primarily offering hand rolled natural incense and incense making workshops. The project was founded by Morganne Wakefield, a multi-disciplinary artist & designer in 2021, after many years of experimentation with incense. Sustainability and slowness are at the heart of the project, celebrating the expression of plants through incense making and education.
Ryanne Maldonado is a Chicago based potter who has been teaching a wide variety of classes and workshops at Penguin Foot Pottery for over a decade. She also creates work under the name Set Fire To It, her most recent commissioned work was showcased at The Salt Shed, creating custom hand-built porcelain salt cellars for the venue.
*Snacks provided, feel free to bring a lunch if you’d like
