Incense Making 101
Love the idea of magical incense but don’t care for the scents you’ve found so far? Wondering just what kind of weird stuff is in those “pina colada” sticks at the gas station? Incense making is an ancient art form and in this class you’ll learn how to combine common everyday herbs to make wonderful scents for your home that also have magical properties. For a small additional fee there will be lab materials for you to make your own Happy Hearth or Calming incense to enjoy.
Gretch felt the callings of the nature spirits at a very young age, but then needed to survive Catholic school and didn’t fully realize that she was, in fact, a witch until shortly before the pandemic started. She’s spent over thirty years in the tech industry and now creates her own jewelry, incense, and weaving. She has several feral black cats that she tends to as well as the local tribe of crows and a beehive. She adores tea and online gaming, and can’t stop making stuff for fear she might explode.
