Dive into non-toxic and plant-based candle-making for a fun, healthy, and sustainable activity. This candle making workshop in Brooklyn will treat you to a creative and immersive experience and leave you with a handmade candle and a good conscience.
This vegan candle making workshop highlights the history, importance, and health benefits of vegan candles while also discussing the toxicity of paraffin wax. Vegan candle making is the process of creating candles using only plant-based ingredients that are free from animal-derived products such as beeswax or stearic acid and are not tested on animals.
Your class will start with a brief history of candle making including animal fats in traditional candles and modern-day chemicals and harmful toxins. You'll also learn the importance of using vegan ingredients in candle making, for health, ethical, and environmental considerations.
Next, you'll learn about common candle making ingredients. If you've ever wondered what the difference is between paraffin wax and plant-based wax, all of your questions will be answered in this session! Learn the benefits of using plant-based waxes in candle making, including their renewable nature, biodegradability, and non-toxic properties.
Don't worry if you're new to candle making, your instructor will then demonstrate how to make vegan candles using soy wax and essential oils. Discuss different scent combinations and the benefits of using essential oils for aromatherapy. Learn how to properly melt the wax, add the fragrance, pour the candles, and properly wick the candles for optimal burning.
Finally, get hands-on and learn how to craft your own candle! Explore different scent combinations to find the perfect blend that suits your personality. Learn candle-burning tips for proper care and storage to maximize their longevity.
If you're looking to add more clean products or sustainable practices to your life this candle making class is a great place to start. Learn something new, get creative, and even meet other like-minded people in your workshop!
