Aprons on and we then begin with an itinerary of the workshop followed by an introduction about KB and the art of candle making.
Scents are then chosen and we get down to the fun part - making.
You will make a luxury KB candle and a large heart wax melt.
There is also an option to play around with colouring your wax.
There is an interval where your creations have time to cure and your bellies have time to be fed. The restaurant will provide homemade buffet style food during each class. This is all included.
Once food is finished, we can de-mold your wax melts, snip your wicks and box up your creations.
