Have you always wanted to create your own scented candle but didn't know how to get started? Would you like to make a homemade gift for someone special? We've got the class for you! Join us at HackPGH and learn how to pour your own 8oz soy-based scented candle. We will go over candle-making basics such as:
- wax types
- hot and cold throw techniques
- wick placement
- fragrance load
- candle maintenance
- choosing & cleaning containers
- application of crystals and stones
Students will be able to choose from over two dozen popular and seasonal (autumn) scents, from apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice to leather and sandalwood.

Requirements: No experience needed. All supplies, tools, and PPE (personal protective equipment) will be provided.
Safety notice: Students will be working with very hot wax! Please tie back any long hair for safety purposes, and we recommend wearing long pants and shirts with long sleeves.
