Candle & Gift-Making Class

Candle & Gift-Making Class

Strawbale Studio

Three wonderful Candle Classes were held this December filling the air with the scent of bees wax.  We made our own wicks, dipped them into local bees wax ~  making lovely “tapers”.  Folks also made earthen candle holders shaped from a modeling mix made entirely of subsoil harvested on this land.  The candle holders and match boxes were creatively decorated with bits of nature foraged from outdoors ~ birch bark, rose hips, seed pods….each person inventing their own unique project.

We ranged in age from 4 years to 69 years (was I the oldest !?) and our happiness was very apparent.  What a natural thing to do.  Both practical and artistic, and made from local materials.  What a joy !

You could schedule a candle class for your group if you wish.
