Springtime Candles & Sip - SEPTEMBER

💐🕯️ Join us for a unique candle-making craft & sip workshop experience, in collaboration with . 🕯️💐

You’ll be using dried flowers to decorate your glass vessel before melting down soy wax and adding scents to create your very own custom soy scented candle!

Choose your scents from our selection and make a beautiful custom 250g candle to enjoy at home.

For your convenience, all crafting materials are provided.

Throughout this 1.5 hour workshop, we’ll also be serving a selection of complimentary wines.

We source the majority of our crafting materials and supplies from fellow small Aotearoa-based businesses, so when you support us, you’re also supporting them!

Further Details:
🧀 Enjoy a selection of grazing platter nibbles (including select vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options*), as well as a selection of low-alcohol and non-alcohol beverage options.
🥂 A complimentary glass of wine will be offered upon arrival, with one top-up provided throughout the workshop.
🍾 This workshop is strictly R18 — please bring your I.D. in order to be served alcohol!

🌸 Important Note: 🌸
Candles must cure following the workshop, so you won't be able to take them with you right away.

Your candle expert, Irish, will lovingly package your candles for you once the curing process is complete, and you will receive an email when your candle is ready to be collected. The pick-up location will be a residential Bryndwr address.

🌼 Candle Etiquette: 🌼
We will talk over these points more during the workshop, but as we will be using dried flowers as decorations for these candles, you must NEVER leave your candle burning unattended. Please keep the burning area inside your candle clear of flowers/debris, and never let your candle burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

For the best fragrance throw, allow your candle to cure for two weeks before burning.

Keep your wick trimmed, and ensure you burn for at least 1 hour on the first burn (in order to prevent tunnelling).

🏡 Venue Etiquette: 🏡

Alma Studio is attached to a private home and is a locally-owned holistic wellness studio. To respect this beautiful space that hosts yoga and other wellness workshops, we ask that our workshop guests kindly remove their shoes at the entrance before entering the space.

We appreciate your understanding. 💞
