Intro to Home Perfumery Workshop

This workshop will introduce the basic process of home perfume–making with a special emphasis on intuitive, conceptual techniques. Participants will examine (smell) the individual ingredients of a scent–in–progress and be able to take samples of the final product home at the workshop’s conclusion. We will also discuss “tinctures” and consider some possibilities for how they are made. We will sample a series of one–off tincture experiments made by the artists before and during their time working at Franconia, some of which will be made using raw materials found on site. The workshop will discuss basic materials and supplies needed to get started and best–practices for casually working on your own to create custom scents. If time allows, the class will collect materials from the park to make their own tinctures.
