About this Event
Slow down this holiday season and create something beautiful with your own hands. In this relaxing, hands-on workshop led by N.E. Love Naturals, you’ll learn how a candle works and why we use premium coconut apricot wax, cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils. Then explore our curated winter scents, from crisp evergreen and cranberry to warm vanilla and plum, choose your signature scent, and hand-pour your own 10 oz candle. While your candle sets, enjoy a fun group activity, then set an intention for your candle, give it a name, and label it. You’ll take home your finished candle, which makes a meaningful holiday gift, along with candle care tips so it burns beautifully.
