Beeswax Basics – From Bees to Candles

Class Description

During this workshop, we will work with 100% pure beeswax, a natural, renewable resource. You will learn how to melt and clean beeswax to make candles that emit a bright, healthful light within the same spectrum as the sun. Beeswax burns longer, drips less, and smells wonderful, naturally.

Through demonstration, students will learn:

• The wonderful properties of natural beeswax
• How to melt and clean 100% raw beeswax cappings
• The types of candles (Tea-lights, votives, and tapers)
• Types of wicks suitable for making beeswax candles
• Essential equipment, dress & location needed to make beeswax candles
• How to source, render and filter beeswax
• How to make beeswax candles
• How to use silicon and other molds to make beeswax candles

Each student will take home two handmade 100% beeswax candles.
