Candle Making for Teens

Make your own candles with Garine from Kulina Folk Art

This workshop is an introduction to your choice of fragrance candle-making with presenter Kulina Folk Art. We will discuss types of candles and which waxes are best suited for which type of candle, wick sizes, heat resistant containers, and their sizes, the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils, and complete instructions on how to burn a candle. Each participant will make one container candle using soy wax and can choose from a variety of seasonally inspired fragrance oils. Once the wax has cooled undisturbed for approximately 24 hours, the participants will take their candle home and may burn it after a 2-week curing period. 

The registering of children under 18 years old for this event indicates that the parent/guardian acknowledges the possibility of safety concerns while handling hot wax. The program starts promptly, no admission is allowed after instructions are given.

Open to teens entering grades 6 through 12. Registration is required.
