This is a fun activity in Bristol
If you've ever wanted to make your own candles, this workshop will give you the basic skills to create three scented candles in different styled containers.
Held in the lovely market town of Thornbury, just 12 miles north of Bristol, during this two and a half-hour candle making class you will make a unique candle made from 100 percent natural soy wax. Be as creative as you like! Your teacher will show you step by step the process of making a container candle using a microwave.
All equipment and materials will be provided, as well as complimentary refreshments like tea, coffee and biscuits. You will also have access to a fragrance library, giving you a wide selection of fragrance oils to choose your own favourite scent from.
You will learn:
- An overview of the different types of wax in candle making
- About the different fragrance options (essential oils v fragrance oils)
- How to assemble and hand pour your own container candle
- About wick types and how to burn a candle correctly
- How to measure the correct amount of wax, fragrance and dye to use in candles
- The equipment needed for candle making
You will leave the workshop with an array of personalised handcrafted candles to proudly display in your home or give away as unique gifts! Not only this but you'll gain the confidence and skills to create many more homemade candle masterpieces for your home.
