Itinerary

Passing Vessel is Sneferu’s signature workshop: an immersive, creative experience built around three acts: receive, create, and give.
It begins when you choose a handmade ceramic vessel, glazed and decorated by someone from a previous session. Each vessel carries a small note from its maker, offering a glimpse into the hands that came before you.
You will then become a master perfumer and scented candles expert: we will guide you into creating your own custom fragrance and pour a scented candle.
While the wax sets, we will have some snacks & drinks in our beautiful garden, and you’ll finally move to the glazing table to decorate a new porcelain jar, leaving it
behind for the next guest to discover.
At the end of this workshop you’ll leave with a candle that carries your scent and intention, poured into a jar once glazed by another. And in return, you’ll pass on a vessel of your own - decorated, marked, and ready to continue the story.
Part fragrance lab, part ceramic studio, part human archive: this is Sneferu’s most personal, hands-on experience.
