Workshop (in-person): Introduction to Artisanal Plant Extractions

Using what we know to create new worlds.
Presented by LVNEA for MTL OLFACTION

In this workshop, owner and perfumer of Lvnea Perfume, April Lea, will introduce participants to the world of do-it-yourself plant extractions for use in natural fragrance. Multiple beginner-friendly extraction methods will be demonstrated, including tincturing, oil maceration, and enfleurage. This way, we hope to equip participants with a basic understanding of artisanal extraction processes, and of what sort of botanical matter they can hope to work with–much of which can be sourced from our own backyards!

April Lea (she/her) is the founder, perfumer, and magic maker at LVNEA—a multidisciplinary artist rooted in the fertile soil of the do-it-yourself counterculture. LVNEA was born from her ardent passion for the natural world and the desire to honour ancient perfumery traditions while challenging the conventions of modern fragrance.

When: Sunday, August 29th from 10 am to 12 pm
Where: L'École Supérieure de Mode - 280 Rue Sainte-Catherine E, Montréal. Please note this is NOT taking place at the Lvnea studio!
