Description:

Using paint pens, a special technique, and classic taper candles, guests will be led through the process of designing and painting custom motifs. Flowers are ever popular, but designs of citrus, geometrics, and celestial designs are quickly catching up. These beautiful candles make beautiful additions to tablescapes and subtly drive home a theme. After the workshop, they can be immediately used for a dreamy dinner party or be given out as thoughtful handmade gifts. Each crafter will make a coordinating pair of candles wrapped up in tissue paper for safe transport home.

This workshop is limited to 10 participants and is for adults age 60 and over. Please RSVP to secure a spot.
