We’re pleased to collaborate again with botanical perfumer Persephenie, as she leads a class devoted to creating beautiful and aromatic smokable blends.

Smoking has a history rich in recreational, medicinal, and spiritual use.

Come reclaim this beautiful human pastime with a focus on organic, botanical North American herbs.

In this class you will learn about traditional smoking materials, the different types of tobacco, and how to process and blend them. We will smell, experience, burn, and discuss various blends while exploring the properties and folklore around these potent and often mystical herbs.

Students will make and take home approximately twenty herbal cigarettes.
