exploring smell

Today I joined a very inspiring and hands-on workshop, all about smell. We
searched the city looking for typical city smells. As it’s autumn I wanted
to catch the smells. I was lucky as the were doing maintenance and were
cutting river banks and trees etc. After chopping up the materials (fresh
cut wild flowers and oak leaves in my case) I respectively ground and heated
them both in vodka. You put the substance through a sieve and voila! you
have captured the smells. It’s so easy and smells is something I’ve wanted
to work with for a long time. We made an aromascape of Eindhoven and a nice
quiz to let the visitors discover what they’re smelling.
