Is there anything better than that first candle burn of the season?! We’re making fall and winter scented candles bursting with warm, cozy fragrances (think cinnamon, clove, apple, pumpkin, vanilla, nutmeg, cedar, pine, fir). The soft amber light and warm, spicy scents of a fall candle can a gentle tug back to simpler, slow evenings at home.

Learn how to make your own beautiful soy wax candles by understanding the importance of temperature, timing, measurement and quality ingredients.
Each student will make and take home TWO soy candles with the following:
The Container - 8 oz. amber glass jar with metal lid
The Scent - a choice of fall and winter scents
The Toppings - a choice of dried seaonsal botanticals or bare
