Workshop | Scent Workshop with Alessandra Mondin

25 May 26 — 25 May 26
Workshop
Venue: Online Event
Join this relaxed workshop to explore together through simple exercises our sense of smell and how art, scent, and wellbeing can intertwine.

Curious about the possibilities of scent and creativity? Eager to try something new in a relaxed and fun way?

Together, we’ll explore how scent, art, and wellbeing can intertwine.
As the sense of smell is nowadays often neglected in Western culture and our daily life, we will start the session by talking about the importance of our sense of smell and its role in our health and wellbeing. We will then move onto exploring scent through a series of guided creative activities and prompts.

During and after each activity, you’ll be invited to share with the group, however you will be able to share as much or as little as you like. During the session, you will use simple art materials you are comfortable with and are already at your disposal, as well as some aromatic items you have access to. These will be essential to carry out the session. After the registration, you’ll be contacted with more information about what to bring to the session.
