Scent Workshop: Memory in a Bottle
25 Nov | Inspired by the works of Lebohang Kganye
Overview
This workshop, inspired by Lebohang Kganye’s Le Sale ka Kgotso, uses memory to blur the lines between fact and fiction. Hosted by multi-sensory designer Dr. Caroline McMillan, you are introduced to the art of perfume composition and eventually guided through the process of creating your own scent based on a personal experience.
By the end of the workshop, you hold your own small perfume in your hands – a memory in a bottle to keep for yourself or use as an ideal (Christmas) gift for someone special.
