Incense Workshop
Luíza's journey into incense-making began with a lifelong love of making things by hand. As she grew older, her interest in the aromas of different cultures deepened. When she discovered that many commercial incenses contained harmful chemicals, she decided to make her own, focusing on natural, safe alternatives. This decision marked the beginning of her career as an artisan.
Join us at the Museum for a chance to reconnect with nature and creativity through an incense-making workshop. In just 20 minutes, you'll learn how to craft your own natural incense cones, using only the finest ingredients nature provides. Not only do you get to take home your creations, but also do you get to explore the calming and meditative process behind incense-making. It’s a perfect blend of art, tradition, and reflection, all set against the backdrop of a night dedicated to peace and inspiration!
Schedule: Continuously from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Textile Printing Workshop - Tote Bag Printing Workshop
