About this Event
Create something truly unique in this hands-on workshop where candle making meets terrarium design. In this cozy studio session, we will first make four tealight candles, and then you’ll craft your own colourful beeswax cactus candles and arrange them inside a beautiful hanging glass terrarium with decorative pebbles and stones. The result is a charming decorative piece that brings together nature, creativity, and the warm glow of beeswax candlelight. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with tea and coffee while you learn the art of shaping and designing with beeswax.
What creative skills you’ll learn:
How to work with coloured beeswax to shape small sculpted candles
Techniques for creating realistic cactus-style tealight candles
Basic candle-making methods using natural beeswax

About BeeCraft Creative Workshops:
BeeCraft Workshops are designed to offer thoughtful, hands-on learning experiences in a welcoming, small-group environment. Rooted in craft, curiosity, and practical skill-building, our workshops invite participants to slow down, learn by doing, and engage meaningfully with materials, processes, and other creators.
Our workshops span a wide range of creative and practical topics, from traditional handcrafts to practical skills and beekeeping topics. Each session is guided by experienced instructors who prioritize clear instruction, patience, and a relaxed positive environment. Whether you are trying something new for the first time or deepening an existing understanding, BeeCraft workshops are structured to be approachable, supportive, fun, and confidence-building.
We value learning environments that feel calm and unhurried. Class sizes are intentionally kept small to allow time for questions, individual guidance, and conversation. Our goal is not just to teach techniques, but to help participants understand the why behind what they are making or learning, so skills can be carried forward beyond the workshop itself. We also aim for a positive and fun experience. Our goal is to hear participants say, “that was great!” at the end of the workshop.
BeeCraft Workshops take place in a comfortable, community-oriented space with on-site parking available. The location is also close to public transportation, making it accessible by multiple travel options. During workshops, tea, coffee, and water are provided to help participants stay comfortable and focused throughout the session. If you prefer fancy beverages we encourage you to visit one of several cafés on Old Kingston Rd, just steps from our studio.

At this time, our workshop space is not fully accessible. We recognize that this is a significant barrier, and improving accessibility is an important and ongoing goal for BeeCraft. We are actively working toward making our workshops more inclusive and accessible in the future, and we welcome feedback and conversation around access needs as part of that process.
