Have you ever wanted to learn about beeswax alchemy and candle making?  luckily you can now do so with us in partnership with The Wild Bee Co 

Introducing your host!

My name is Moni - I am an artist, apiarist and alchemist.
Over the past 10 years, my journey with the bees has profoundly shaped my creative process and greatly inspired my botanical creations, allowing me to explore the magical and alchemical potential of beeswax as a powerful, transformative, earth-infused medium. With 15+ years as a designer working for some of the biggest brands, I continue to channel that creativity into crafting fun, whimsical, quirky, colourful candles inspired by nature and made with intention. Beeswax holds a powerful connection to Mother Earth and our pollinator friends and in this candlestick making workshop I hope to share the experience of beeswax alchemy.

Workshop Overview:

Step into the world of BEESWAX CANDLESTICK making, where you’ll not only craft exquisite, eco-friendly candles but also unlock the secrets of beeswax alchemy and delve into the art, science and folklore behind these enchanting creations. You will create:

Dipped Taper Candles -

  A very traditional craft and iconic candle making technique, where you’ll repeatedly dip a wick into melted beeswax to create beautiful, rustic tapers. We will also learn to manipulate the candles into beautiful forms, by bending, braiding and twisting!

Rolled Marbled Beeswax Candles -

  A truly one-of-a-kind technique! You’ll go beyond the usual ‘boring’ pre-made sheets by learning how to actually create, blend colour and texturise your own funky beeswax sheets from scratch. A fun, playful and experimental take on a traditional craft. Finally, you will roll your exquisite, eco-friendly sheets into truly unique candles.

This workshop is a delightful blend of history, creativity, and practical candle-making techniques. Set against the backdrop of our funky, colourful Wax Atelier, which coincidently sits above our honey and wax processing workshop! So we can have a quick tour downstairs too! We keep our group small so expect personalised guidance and plenty of space to let your creativity shine.

NOTE - This hands-on, immersive workshop is designed to take you far beyond the basics of rolling a wick in readymade beeswax sheets (which in my opinion is self-explanatory and people should not be charging for!) We do things different at The Wild Bee Company!
