Dive into non-toxic and plant-based candle-making for a fun, healthy, and sustainable activity! This candle-making workshop in Brooklyn will treat you to a creative and immersive experience, leaving you with a handmade candle, a good conscience, and a beautifully repurposed wine bottle vessel.
This vegan candle-making workshop highlights the history, importance, and health benefits of plant-based candles while also discussing the toxicity of paraffin wax. Vegan candle-making uses only plant-based ingredients that are free from animal-derived products such as beeswax or stearic acid and are not tested on animals.
Your class will begin with a brief history of candle-making, including the use of animal fats in traditional candles and modern-day chemicals and toxins. You'll also explore why using vegan ingredients in candle-making is a healthier, more ethical, and environmentally friendly choice.
Next, you'll learn about common candle-making ingredients. Ever wondered about the difference between paraffin wax and plant-based wax? This session will answer all your questions! Discover the benefits of plant-based waxes, including their renewable nature, biodegradability, and non-toxic properties.
Then, your instructor will demonstrate how to make vegan candles using soy wax and essential oils, guiding you through scent blending and the benefits of essential oils for aromatherapy. Learn how to properly melt wax, add fragrance, pour candles, and wick them for optimal burning.
Here’s where it gets even more exciting—you’ll pour your candle into a repurposed wine bottle, embracing sustainability by giving new life to what would otherwise be waste. Afterward, and while your candle cools, you’ll get hands-on and cut and sand your own wine bottle, crafting a new vessel for the next visitor.
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to incorporate more sustainable practices into their life. Whether you’re new to candle-making or a DIY enthusiast, you’ll leave with a beautifully crafted, eco-friendly candle and the skills to keep making more. Plus, you’ll meet like-minded people who share a passion for creativity and sustainability.
