About this Event
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Step into a bright, creative space and enjoy a relaxing, hands-on candle-making experience inspired by the iconic cherry blossoms of Washington, D.C.
You’ll design a one-of-a-kind candle using a clean, white handcrafted concrete vessel and soft pink details inspired by blooming cherry trees. Guided throughout the process, you’ll explore fresh spring fragrances, pour your candle, and finish it with delicate wax elements that reflect the beauty of cherry blossom season.
No experience is needed, just come ready to unwind, connect, and create something beautiful.
