Workshop – Make your own souvenir
Candles made of recycled wax
Join me as I teach you the craft of candlemaking using recycled wax and upcycled equipment in small groups in my art studio. I have been making candles for over 25 years, exhibiting and selling all over the world, and would love to share my craft with you.
In this fun and creative workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of candlemaking while making your own candles!
You will learn:
* How to transform your old candles into new ones by recycling the wax.
* How to choose and prep wicks.
* How to play with color theory.
* Introduction to molds and how to create your own.
While learning this, you will be making two candles of your own to take home. You do not need any experience to attend, and all materials are included in the price. All you need to bring is your good mood to work in.

Class size: up to 5. Larger groups can be accommodated.
