Candle Masterclass

Ever thought of learning a new craft, my candle making workshop is available to all ages from beginner to seasoned crafter, with no experience required.

Learn the history of candle while engaging in a hands-on day of  making where you will learn all  aspects of candle making. You will get to make a soy candle and a paraffin candle, wax melts and decoupage. Whether it is for your own pleasure or to start your dream career, it all begins here in the Glen of Imaal, county Wicklow.

Start time of 10.30 finish time 2.30

Beverage of your choice on arrival.

We break for lunch about 12.30. On chilly days lunch is a homemade vegetarian soup and home baked bread.  Always let me know if you have any dietary requirements. On sunny days salad is served.

Do not wear your Sunday best as this is manual hands on work, so a little splash may occur. My advice is warm comfy workwear.

Included in the course is the use of beeswax, paraffin and soy wax. All materials are supplied for the course and are available to purchase for future making. Decoration of the candles is part of our day. Here you will learn how to decoupage, paint and press flowers onto the candles.

Printed notes will be given at the beginning of the day with full instructions on making paraffin and soy candles. Material and supplier list are also included.
