Who doesn’t love the mellow fragrance of scented wax. Make a 1 container candle and 2 beautiful botanical scented wax tablets. Bring along your own vintage cup or other special container (up to 200ml volume) or you can use one of our selected containers. The wax tablets are decorated with dried flowers and can be hung in the wardrobe or tucked into your lingerie drawer to release a delicate fragrance. Personally I think they are to beautiful to hide away so mine sit on my dresser. You will be given basic candle making instructions and will get to take home your container candle and 2 wax tablets. $40 (bring your own container if you have something special to use or use one of our selected glass or China containers.) Dates available Saturday September 5th 11am-2 Tuesday October 20th 7-9pm RESIN COLLAGE Cutting out pieces for collage is relaxing and therapeutic and the finished result is so satisfying. Choose from several design images and papers to cut, arrange, paste and admire before adding a small quote or words of your choice. To top it off you will pour a layer of resin to cover your collage which will make it POP and give it a professional glass like finish. All of this is achieved in 2 hours but because of the drying time of resin you will not be able to take your masterpiece with you on the night but we will arrange getting it to you in a day or two when it is ready. $40 all materials supplied Dates available Tuesday September 29th 7-9 Saturday October 3rd 11am-1 Decoupage Decorate a few jars, bottles or pots (as many as time allows)these make awesome pen holders, vases, planters or storage etc. If you have special shaped jars/bottles or containers you want to use you can bring them along or use what we have here.
