About this Event

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

In this hands-on workshop, we'll will create their own one-of-a-kind Halloween/Fall candle! Each guest will pour soy wax into a handmade concrete oval vessel crafted by our instructor, Olga, and will choose their favorite fragrance oil to personalize their candle.

While the wax cools, guests will paint a set of mini concrete Halloween figurines to take home. Finally, everyone will finish their candle by decorating it with festive wax pumpkins or skeletons—making it a perfect seasonal centerpiece or gift.

The best way to celebrate spooky season!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Olga Kardonova is an artist and maker who creates unique concrete candles and home décor. She transforms simple materials like cement and wax into beautiful, functional art-often painting her vessels by hand to add a personal, artistic touch.

Her work blends creativity with craftsmanship, bringing warmth and personality into everyday spaces. She finds joy in both sculpting and painting, using each piece as a way to express herself and share beauty with others. For her, art is about storytelling, self-expression, and making the world a little more inspiring-one handmade piece at a time.
