- Description

Time: 1pm-3pm
Location: Two Two (3221 Grand Ave, Oakland)
Who it's for: Open to absolute first-timers to seasoned (flavor and perfume) professionals—means for all.
What you get/takeaway: Knowledge, inspiration, and new connections
Immerse yourself in olfactory and scent exploration through a casual and communal smell-related gathering with artist Arianna Khmelniuk (aka Zapah Lab).
Each session is a fun and hands-on way to learn from the artist and your peers without the pressure of time and deliverables. These are informal, open studio sessions working with fragrance materials that can serve as the starting point for any creative/experimental development of scent-based work. Arianna believes this is the most creative stage of the work—to smell solo molecules and oils in their raw form.
We will discuss everything: science, spiritual, empirical, sensory, playful, health, chemicals, industry, research, and design. Attendees will also exchange olfactory knowledge with peers, connecting and building a curious community of creatives. As Arianna learned through the years of working with scent as her primary artistic medium, you need time first—time to explore, play, focus, and do it all again. Arianna calls olfaction her most prominent teacher of arts, self-knowledge, and presence, and she’s always willing to share her inspiration and findings with anyone curious about smell matter. Arianna’s artistic and educational practice is about access to materials, open-mindedness, and forever-learning mode.
One quality we expect from attendees of these sessions is to come ready for discovery. Let the smells lead the way. Come open-minded and be prepared to be surprised, deeply impressed, and maybe even time-traveled and reminded of something long forgotten. We promise you will leave learning something new about yourself and… smells, too.
Important: Don't wear strong scented cosmetics. No food allowed at work tables. Bring a notebook & writing utensil. Be hydrated and eat before your session.
