About this Event
A Día de los Muertos candle-making workshop rooted in culture.
Step into a creative space where scent meets intention and discover the art of candle making as you create and hand-pour your own Cempasúchil scented candle, blending creativity with intentional self-care.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided through the process of designing and pouring your own Cempasúchil (Aztec Marigold) scented candle, infused with culture and intention. This experience is rooted in the belief that creating something by hand can be a deeply nourishing act of self-care.
Details:
- Instructor-led class by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini of CASITA MICHI
- ALL materials to craft an 8.5oz scented candle - hand poured by you

Our non-toxic fragrances have been curated to match our theme.
Once you have made your candle, they will need approximately one hour or more to solidify before they’re ready to take home. As your candle sets, we’ll play a game of Lotería, while nurturning your inner child. Our Lotería game is optional and if you prefer, you can use this time to grab a bite, journal or simply take a breather.
Once your candles have solidified, you will leave with some basic candle-making knowledge, a uniquely fun experience and your very own hand poured candle. No experience needed! Just bring your curiosity, your senses, and your intention.
