The Scent of Weather… Poetry and Perfume, with JL Williams & Lush
What is the scent of weather? What is the scent of a dream?
Join poet and perfume aficionado, JL Williams, in this workshop exploring memory, abstraction and the intersections between these two crafts, in partnership with Lush. We’ll be exploring how poems are made and how perfumes are made, and how the two can inspire each other. Prompted by insights from JL Williams and the Lush perfume team, you’ll have plenty of time to create your own poetic work in response to the fascinating world of scent.
