A Two-Part Artistic Adventure

Join us for a one-of-a-kind workshop that combines the art of crafting beautiful beeswax-tapered candles with the creation of a unique ceramic candlestick holder. This immersive two-part experience promises to ignite your creativity and leave you with both functional and artistic treasures.

Part 1: Clay Candlestick Holder Crafting
At one table, you'll begin your evening by molding your own distinctive candlestick holder out of clay. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the process using various pinch pot and hand-building techniques, allowing you to infuse your personal touch into your design. Feel the cool, pliable clay beneath your fingers as you breathe life into your vision. Whether your style leans towards rustic simplicity or intricate elegance, this is your opportunity to let your imagination run wild and infuse your personal touch into every curve and contour of your candlestick holder.


Part 2: Beeswax Taper Dipping with Sara from Slow Burn
As the clay candlestick holders take form, groups will break off and immerse themselves in the enchanting world of beeswax taper dipping. Sara, a master of her craft, will share the ancient art of crafting elegant tapered candles using beeswax. Sara will unveil the secrets of this ancient technique while you create your own luminous masterpieces. Under her guidance, immerse yourself in the tactile process, and leave with not only a deeper understanding of beeswax's significance but also your personally hand-dipped candles, radiating both the workshop's wisdom and the beauty of Slow Burn's craftsmanship. Delve into the tactile process, discover the secrets of this time-honored technique, and witness the transformation of liquid wax into radiant candles.

Perfect for those seeking creativity, tranquility, or a unique DIY experience, this workshop offers an intimate opportunity to delve into the world of beeswax candle making and clay crafting, all guided by Sara's expertise.
