Join me for a relaxed, creative afternoon where candle-making meets collage art. This small-group workshop guides you through making three beautiful tin candles (2oz, 5oz, and 7oz) while you personalize them into miniature works of art.
What you’ll do
Learn safe, simple candle-making techniques using non-toxic soy wax and essential oils.
Pour and create three candles in different sizes, then let them set while you design.
Personalize each candle label using mixed-media collage — watercolor textures, stickers, and layered imagery to make each candle uniquely yours.
Finish your candles by decorating the tops with a curated selection of homegrown herbs, gemstones, and a little sparkle.
Choose from four signature scents and a wide variety of herbs & gemstones — mix and match to craft a scent and look that feels like you.
Refreshments & Atmosphere
I’ll provide a generous charcuterie platter and a selection of beverages (tea, sparkling water, plus wine) so you can sip and snack as you create. The workshop is small and social — bring a friend or come solo and meet fellow makers.
