Dive into the world of non-toxic, plant-based candle-making at this creative and sustainable workshop in Brooklyn! In this hands-on experience, you’ll learn to craft your own vegan candles using soy wax, essential oils, and repurposed wine bottles, all while gaining a deeper understanding of the benefits of plant-based ingredients.
The class kicks off with a brief history of candle-making, highlighting the use of animal fats in traditional candles and the harmful chemicals found in modern paraffin wax. You’ll also discover why choosing vegan waxes is not only a healthier option for you but also a more ethical and eco-friendly choice, due to their renewable nature, biodegradability, and non-toxic properties.
Once you’ve learned the fundamentals, you’ll dive into the process of candle-making. Your instructor will guide you through the steps of melting soy wax, blending scents, pouring candles, and properly wicking them to ensure an even burn. You’ll also get to customize your candle’s fragrance, choosing essential oils known for their aromatherapy benefits.
Here’s where it gets even more exciting—you’ll pour your candle into a repurposed wine bottle, embracing sustainability by giving new life to what would otherwise be waste. While your candle cools, you’ll get hands-on and cut and sand your own wine bottle, crafting a new vessel for the next visitor.
This candle making workshop is perfect for anyone in Brooklyn looking to incorporate more sustainable practices into their life. Whether you’re new to candle-making or a DIY enthusiast, you’ll leave with a beautifully crafted, eco-friendly candle and the skills to keep making more. Plus, you’ll meet like-minded people who share a passion for creativity and sustainability.
