Candle Making with Beaded Decoration Workshop in the Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wilthsire/Oxfordshire Border

X

Description

Join us for a fun workshop and learn two crafts in one session - the art of candle making, and making a beautiful beaded decoration. Discover the exciting process of creating your own scented candles in this workshop suitable for beginners. Knowing how to calculate the right amount of wax, dye and fragrance is key to crafting perfect candles. In this session, you will produce two beautiful fragranced Soy candles, one in a glass and the second in a tin with a lid. You will also have the option of decorating with beautiful botanicals. While your candles are setting, you can create an enchanting Dragonfly decoration. Choose from the selection of beads and wires available to make a dragonfly in your favourite colours, and a bee that will add a touch of charm to your candle, plant pot, or serve as a delightful sun catcher. An instruction sheet will be available containing helpful hints, tips, and supplier details to guide you through the process. The containers are reusable once you have enjoyed your handmade candles, and you will leave the workshop with the knowledge to be able to create more at home if you wish.

Crafting in the Cotswolds – what’s not to love? Lechlade Craft Barn offers craft workshops in the pretty Cotswolds market town of Lechlade on Thames. The Craft Barn is an attractive old stone barn at Karen's home and is the perfect setting to discover and develop your crafting skills. Owner Karen has a long-held passion for crafting, with backgrounds in retail and event management. Along with her workshops, she is joined by a talented team of guest tutors who offer a wide range of craft workshops. The barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails on either side and unfortunately may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Some workshops are delivered nearby in the bright and spacious Memorial Hall complex and other local venues. In addition to published workshops, we also offer bespoke Crafty Parties for Hens, groups of friends and family, special occasions, or any excuse to have a crafty day.
