Description 
Perfume Stories: Alchemy and Essence. This is an innovative research project that employs a multi-sensory approach to learning in Art and Design. This unique methodology aims to facilitate learning and aid in the rehabilitation of prisoners at His Majesty’s Prison in the UK.

Perfume Stories are a series of sensory and storytelling workshops based around Perfume. The participants develop critical learning skills by responding to a series of multi-sensory tasks – writing down and telling their own stories through narratives in poetry, spoken word and image making.

PDF File - Presents the genesis of this project over four different events. A time travelling roadmap from drawing practice and pedagogy to a personal obsession with perfume. Chanel No5, Cuir Du Russie, Mitsouko, Shalimar, Poison and Portrait of a Lady. There is an alchemic reaction at the heart of drawing. From Liverpool Art School to HMP Risley. This document contains a combination of some of the science around smell and the literary references that I use to help frame the workshops. There are extracts from the Liverpool Tate Exchange Workshop and selected contributions from learners at HMP Liverpool, HMP Hindley, HMP Buckley Hall and HMP Northumberland.
Methods  
Method for PDF - Perfume Stories began as a series of workshops with Illustration and Graphic Design undergraduates at Liverpool School of Art & Design in 2019. The workshops had a number of objectives. One was to encourage the student’s thinking about narratives and storytelling. The workshops were managed in groups of between 6 - 10. There is a performative element to the sessions. The sessions are introduced with literary references. The student Learners were a mixed ability group. They were given a series of individual perfume samples to smell. Most contemporary perfumes are linear fragrances designed to produce a strong and instantaneous effect, striking the senses all at once and quickly dissipating. They are static. I specifically collected Perfume samples that had more depth and complexity. The Learners were asked a simple question “What does it make you think of ?”
Method for Podcast - guests talk about olfaction in relation to wellness, art & innovation. Interviewees included scientists, perfume industry experts and academics.
