Dec 14-16 (Fri-Sun) Tyee Open - Candle making class
ust in time to put you in the Christmas spirit, join two guest experts as they help you make and decorate candles!
We will supply the bees wax and wicks and ability to melt and dye the wax.
Wax takes time to set, so we highly recommend you stay the night and use Sunday to decorate the candle
or just to make sure it transports home safely.
You should bring fancy containers for container candles, or the cylinders from juice concentrate or the
small milk cartons. If you are pulling off pillar candles, we should have some gold and silver foil
tissue paper for wrapping them.
If you want scented candles, please bring your favorite essential oils or other high quality fragrance!
Cost: The biggest single expense is the bees wax. So we will initially promise 10 oz of wax
and the supplies to make candles for each $10. The better deal we get on wax the more there will be at the
event for the money. We should have more wax available for purchase if you want to make more or bigger candles.
10 oz of wax will make a big candle or several small ones.
Kids are welcome.
We will be buying supplies, and so ask that you pay $10 per participant in advance (not refundable)
to cover costs. You can send $10 to TyeeWinter@trailsclub.org.
Please include a note on who the deposit is for.
Exact lodge open and closing times will be updated later or contact the hosts for more details.
