Valentines Day Candle & Wax Melt Workshop
5 February | 10:30 – 12:30
A workshop filled with a delicate aroma of roses and lavender danced on the breeze, mingling with the excited chatter of the participants. Each table a canvas of creativity, adorned with glass jars, wax melts, and an array of dried flowers.
As you step into this haven of tranquility, the scent of Damask Rose, a rich and velvety fragrance, fills your senses. It's a classic choice, a timeless allure. Or perhaps you're drawn to the delicate rose, a softer, more subtle scent that whispers of romance. And then there's the Rose Bouquet, a vibrant and intoxicating blend that captures the essence of a garden in full bloom.
As the workshop draws to a close, you decorate your gift boxes, adding a personal touch to your handmade treasures. The sense of accomplishment is palpable as you admire your unique candle and wax melts, a tangible expression of your love and creativity.
The Valentine's Day Candle Making Workshop at Wax & Willow is more than just a class; it's an immersive experience that kindles your creativity and fills your heart with joy. The warmth of the company, the soothing scents, and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful make it a truly unforgettable occasion.
