Join the Wende for 
Summer Camp at the Stevie
, a hands-on art making series situated in a lush oasis in the middle of Culver City.
What is the Stevie?
Tucked away on the southwestern side of the Glorya Kaufman Community Center, the Stevie is a “tiny house” turned creative outpost. Surrounded by palms and desert landscaping, it serves as both an artist residency space and an intimate venue for programs, gatherings, and experimental events on its expansive outdoor deck. The Stevie was made possible by a transformative contribution from Steve and Jadwiga Markoff.
Two Day Incense Immersion with Persephenie
July 12 & 13, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The Two Day Incense Immersion is an in-depth study of the art, history, and materials used in incense.
This is a hands-on course where you’ll learn the craft of artisanal incense.
DAY ONE: Raw Materials, Slide Show, & Combustible Incense
Day one we’ll start by meeting herbs, learning about their context in the history and making of incense, while enjoying a rich visual slideshow. The latter part of the day focus’s on crafting botanical combustible incense, incorporating the variety of herbs you learned about in the morning. We’ll burn an assortment of materials, learn to mix and make an aromatic incense dough, and shape incense into cones and sticks. You’ll learn how incense is made, ratios, and about materials.
DAY TWO: Warming Incense, Incense as a Ritual, and Making Incense Pastilles
There are two types of incense, incense you warm, and incense you burn. Day Two focus’s on non-combustible incense that’s meant to be warmed, not burned. On the second day, in conjunction with another colorful slideshow, you’ll learn how to warm incense as a ritual, about ancient incense tools and accruements, and then at the latter part of the day, you’ll create non-combustible incense pastilles.
