Every wisp of smoke carries a story. For millennia, humans have burned fragrant herbs, resins, and woods to mark sacred moments. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to craft your own incense using Phragmites — an invasive plant found across Long Island — turning an ecological nuisance into a sensory bridge to the past.

All materials are provided. Come ready to work with your hands and leave with something beautiful you made yourself.
