Join our perfumer craft lab and explore blending materials!
Our craft labs are a great way to explore a new or old craft in a relaxed, low-key environment. During our perfumery labs, Hummingbird House Co-founder Lisa Russell will be available to start you off with the basics of perfumery blending. For more advanced folks, Lisa will be available to help you troubleshoot and evaluate your blends. All Participants will have kits containing pre-selected materials for blending multiple fragrance notes, along with gloves, pipettes, blotters, blending cups, an atomizer, and vials. Lastly, basic skeleton formulas will be provided to help get you started.
Light snacks and beverages will also be available for everyone’s enjoyment.
Details: July 9th @ 4pm-7pm and July 31st @ 5pm-9pm
Location: Hummingbird House, 2976 24th St, SF, CA
Level: All levels, no experience necessary
Additional info: For beginners who have never taken a class, you will first review safety guidelines (eg. gloves, material handling, etc) with Lisa prior to blending. This requires roughly 10- 15 minutes. We do welcome kiddos to join, but we ask parents to exercise discretion. You know your kid best. There will be spillable things, and safety must come first. Lastly, light food and beverages will be available, but they shouldn’t be brought to your blending station. Instead, we ask participants to take a blending break and enjoy snacks and beverages away from their station.
Walk-ins will be accepted, but we recommend reserving your spot ahead of time.
