What you will do?
In this workshop you will be introduced to the process of distilling. With the plants that grow on the Mediamatic grounds and the waste from the kitchen of Mediamatic, or what extra materials the participants bring to the table, we will form scent bouquets that will be distilled to a artistic essential oil. After 3 and a half hours you will take home a tiny bottle of a 10% solution in alcohol of your own created blend.
