Spooky Season Candle Making with Olga Kardonova

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!
