Art and AgriCulture

Make your own Florida Water

Join us for a free workshop where you’ll make your own Florida Water for protection. To start, we’ll share what brought each of us here, along with any experience you have with it. Then you’ll smell a sample and paint whatever comes up for you in watercolor.

Next, Rosanna will trace how a cologne became a sacred tool across many cultures. You’ll talk through common herbs and what they’re used for spiritually. After journaling your intention, you’ll pick a blend and mix a batch to take home, along with a zine.

This event is part of Art and AgriCulture. Explore your relationship to food and agriculture, and the histories, stories, and traditions that shape the ways we grow, prepare, and share food.
