BEYOND DISCIPLINES. THROUGH PRACTICE.
off-RCA Learning is an interdisciplinary programme of artist-led workshops, masterclasses and creative encounters.
Bringing together artists, designers and practitioners across visual, material and sensory disciplines, the programme invites participants to explore new methods of making, thinking and experiencing art.
Each workshop offers an opportunity to engage directly with artistic processes, experiment with materials and develop new perspectives through practice.

HOW DO WE TRANSLATE AN IMAGE INTO SCENT?
An interdisciplinary, artist-led workshop exploring how images, materials, emotions and sensory states can be translated into olfactory narratives.
Led by Misia-O’, participants discover how to interpret scent through blind smelling, sensory vocabulary and guided creative exercises. Exploring the relationships between light, texture, composition, memory, emotions and sensory states, they learn how aromatic materials can translate visual and conceptual narratives into scent — structured through the trigger, the story and the residue.
Open to artists and creative practitioners across photography, painting, sculpture, film, design, installation and writing.
No previous experience of perfumery is required.
YOUR PORTABLE ARTIST’S SENSORY LABORATORY
Included in your workshop fee. Yours to keep.

USAGE & FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
Participants leave with their original art scent, a laboratory sample and a record of their formula.
The composition is developed exclusively for artistic and olfactory expression. It is not a cosmetic fragrance and must not be applied to the skin.
Use within non-commercial artistic practice, including exhibitions and installations, is permitted subject to appropriate safety assessment.
Commercial exploitation of the scent, including its sale, licensing or distribution, is not included in the session fee. Further formulation, safety assessment, regulatory compliance and production may be commissioned separately.
