All Materials Included
Bring a little handmade warmth and light into your holiday season! Join us for a cozy workshop exploring the traditional craft of hand-dipped beeswax taper candles, a beautiful and practical skill passed down through generations.
Felicia will begin with a brief introduction to beeswax, its history, and the traditions of candle making. You'll then learn the patient, rhythmic process of dipping wicks into warm beeswax, gradually building layer upon layer to create beautiful, golden taper candles.
Each participant will make two sets of classic beeswax tapers to take home, perfect for winter gatherings, holiday decorating, or giving as thoughtful handmade gifts. If time allows, we'll also explore twisting tapers for a festive finishing touch.
No previous experience is necessary!
