Scented Candle Making

Description

Learn the art of making scented jar candles with a choice of either a Lime, Basil and Mandarin, French Vanilla or Black Pomegranate scented candle to take home on the day, with guest tutor Marea Brown of Art of Jaipur.

By re-using empty candle jars you will not only save money but also save more empty containers from going into landfill. The session will show you how to make a candle from start to finish with lots of useful information about where to source ingredients and comparisons between the various containers, waxes, wicks, scents and labels available.

The workshop will provide a step by step guide to making jar candles from choosing the right container, wax , wicks and fragrance to preparing the work area, wicking the container, melting the wax and adding the fragrance. Marea will demonstrate how to correctly pour the wax to ensure a smooth and professional looking finish. You will then add labels to the candle jars to give a high end finish as well as the necessary safety warning on the bottom of the container.

Candle safety will also be covered as well as other aspects of candle making such as using coloured wax and adding petals and seeds. Please wear old clothes or bring an apron!

A two and a half hour workshop.
