This live online class will run live via Zoom and will teach you everything you need to know about DIY candles right on your screen.
During the live streaming class, you will learn how to prepare, make, and pour your own soy candles using eco-friendly natural ingredients and how to do so safely. We will show you the step-by-step process and how to add oils at the correct temperature to scent your candles.
We'll begin the class with a thorough explanation of the equipment and materials required and where to buy them so you can confidently set up at home and continue making beautiful eco candles. Then we’ll move on to a detailed demonstration!
