Workshop: 09/26/26 Foraged Botanical Incense Making with Danielle Sheridan

Saturday September 26, 2026 10:30-11:30am

Join us for a creative afternoon of botanical incense-making ! Guests will be guided through the art of making your own foraged botanical incense, using dried lavender stems as the base. We will have an assortment of resins and foraged botanicals to learn about, and choose from to make your incense unique. Set with your intention. 

You’ll learn how to work with makko powder, a natural bark powder traditionally used in Japanese incense making. Makko burns evenly and cleanly, adding no aroma of its own so the delicate fragrance of your herbs and flowers can shine through. Together, we’ll blend botanicals, shape your incense around the stems, and prepare them for slow, even burning.

You’ll leave with 3-6 handcrafted lavender stem incense that burn for hours. Filling your space with natural aromas, and the joy of having made them by hand.

Workshop will take place at Gathered Botanicals storefront:

781 College Ave NE

Grand Rapids, MI 49503

There is free street parking around the shop off of Bradford ave, and College ave.
