If you want to re-imagine your relationship with smell and if scent fascinates you, then get those creative juices flowing on one of my workshops.
I have been teaching for more than 10 years and love to encourage a sense of curiosity and play, learning should be fun as well as a discipline.
Drawing on nature’s botanical palette, I offer a variety of masterclasses and introductory workshops throughout the year, from incense to natural Perfumery and creative blending for home fragrance, skin and body care. Private tuition is also available if you have a specific project in mind and would prefer to work on a 1:1 basis.
I also provide activities at various events around the UK, usually of a perfume, botanical or olfactory nature, so come and say hi!
If you have a party or a celebration in mind, I can also create a bespoke event for you, for some sensory inspiration, visit my events or clients page.
I hold small classes, up to 16 places maximum, to allow for individual attention. New dates are continually being added so if you would like to be kept informed, you can follow me on
Twitter,
Facebook or sign up to my
blog where I will post advance notice of future classes and
events.
Check out my current workshops below, I hope to welcome you to one soon!
