The creativity doesn’t stop there! You’ll make a scented wax ornament with your choice of floral and wax decorations, as well as a seasonal candle inspired by the time of year.
By the end of the 1.5 to 2-hour workshop, you’ll have created a collection of beautiful handmade candles to take home in our bespoke gift bag, perfect for gifting or enjoying yourself.
