September, Through Scent
Some memories return as stories. Others come back first as a smell.
This September, Oblique Table explores scent, memory, and the places we carry with us — through Chinese aromatic herbs, incense, everyday objects, and sensory workshops inspired by the small things that quietly stay in our minds.
-
Blind-smell Chinese aromatic herbs, explore how the same botanical changes when raw, warmed, or burned, and create a personal scent self-portrait through color, images, and memory.
-
Learn the basics of crochet while making a colorful bag strap with soft, chunky T-shirt yarn. Choose your colors intuitively — inspired by a place, season, or small memory you’d like to carry with you. Beginner-friendly, with no crochet experience needed.
-
Explore scent through essential oils and traditional aromatic materials, then bring them into everyday objects and rituals — from incense to herbal combs.
-
From startups to seasoned brands, we partner with people who care about doing things right—and doing them well.
An open sensory afternoon to smell, browse, make, and linger. Discover a growing library of aromatic materials and the memories and places they evoke.
Sep 26 -
Craft your own comb using a textured clay made with traditional Chinese herbs, shaping and decorating it by hand. Learn about the botanicals blended into the material and take home a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by scent, touch, and everyday ritual.
