Halloween Harvest Candle Making Workshop

Description

Halloween Harvest Candle Making Workshop

From the pleasing scent of melting beeswax and satisfying pleasure of filling of filling glass jars, to the joy of gifting to loved ones o relishing the peaceful flame alone, handmade beeswax candles bring warmth and well-being to life. Join Ginger Sweeney for a 90-minute workshop in which she will teach beeswax container candle making with all-natural, food-safe materials, including locally sourced beeswax and two signature health-boosting essential oil fragrance blends.

All ages. Under 12 with adult supervision.

Registration is required. Limit of 10 registrants.

Accessibility: All abilities are welcome. Activities will involve fine motor skills and work that cannot be done while seated (pouring hot wax into a container), but the instructor and her assistant will work with individuals who may need assistance.

Participants will measure out wax ingredients, melt the wax (instructor will use a large melter for the group), blend in EO fragrances, prepare jars with wicks, pour wax in containers at the proper temperature, and decorate the jars with personalized tags and twine.
