During this workshop, we will discuss types of candles and which waxes are best suited for which type of candle, the importance of wick sizes, heat resistant container sizes, the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils and complete instructions on how to burn a candle. Each teen will make one container “lucky clover candle” using soy wax, color, fragrance oils and a toy. Once the wax has cooled undisturbed for approximately 24 hours, teens will take their candle home and may burn it after a 2 week curing period.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The wax is hot and fragrance oils can be strongly scented. - The registering of children under 18 years old for this program indicates that the parent/guardian acknowledges the possibility of safety concerns while handling hot wax. - Program starts promptly, no admission is allowed after instructions are given.
Grades 6-12 only. Online registration is required.
