Join me for an evening at Better Things, Forest Hill, for a night of candle making and scent exploration.
At the workshop, I’ll talk you through some of my own candle creations to inspire you, followed by a brief introduction to essential oils—natural botanical oils we’ll be using to fragrance the candles.
We’ll also cover the basics of creating your own natural fragrance, including layering, top notes, base notes, and using essential oils for aromatherapy.
You’ll then mix your own natural fragrances (with my help!) and create your very own blend of essential oils to form the base of your candle scent.
Next, you’ll combine your custom fragrance with natural soy wax, wick your handmade pots, and pour your three candles. While they set, there’ll be time for a drink and snack break, and a chance to browse the beautiful Better Things shop.
Once the candles have set, you can decorate them with natural botanicals—crystals, pressed flowers, and shells—and package them in the box provided.
Soft drinks and snacks will be served, but feel free to bring a bottle of whatever you like.
