Manchester WI Candle Making

Do you love handmade scented candles and want to learn more about how they are made? Ever wondered how you put the scent into a candle? Then this workshop is for you.

One of our lovely members, and female founders, has kindly agreed to put on a special discounted workshop for Manchester WI at £45pp instead of the advertised £55. This workshop from Wilton Street Craft Co serves as an excellent introduction to candle making and scent blending, so join Emma (and her trusty sausage dog Lady) for a half-day workshop where you will make 3 scented vegan candles to take home.

In a small group of 6 you will gather around Emma’s wooden kitchen table in her home studio, where she will share her knowledge and passion for candle making with you. Experience the therapeutic effect of working with wax and get excited by scent, as Emma guides you through the art of candle making using soy wax and essential oils to make your own natural, vegan candles. You will make 3 scented candles from scratch, from preparing ingredients, to using recipes developed by Emma, to labelling your finished candles. You will also have a choice of essential oils to blend your own scent for your candle.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners. It serves as a fun and informative introduction to the tools and techniques used in candle making, and everything you need such as equipment, tuition, and ample refreshments (including cake!) are included. If you have any dietary requirements you can let us know during the booking process. Emma is willing to run another workshop if we have high demand....including a special festive themed one closer to Christmas!! Min 2 people- Maximum 6 people for this one so get booking! Her house is 10mins walk from either Besses o'th' Barn or Whitefield tram stops and there is on street parking.
