For the second workshop in our Healing Monsters series of events, perfumer, artist and librarian Clara Weale (A Library of Olfactive Materials) joined us in Huntly to lead a workshop on smells. Clara is a scent designer and educator with an innovative approach to thinking about smell and the role it plays in our lives. In this walking workshop, Clara encouraged us to seek out scents around Huntly and describe them collectively, recalling and repeating the scents as we go, uniting the group to create a long description of the scents we found (and imagined) together. Related to Irineu's projects, Clara also create additional Princess smell (inspired by the fairy tales Irineu has been reading) that the participants were tracking along the way!
