Parent area:

Parents, we encourage you to join your child for a shared creative experience! You can work side by side and get creative yourself.

If your child is confident to craft independently, you can catch up on work or relax in our cosy parent corner. There is also a playground on site you can explore with any younger children. Please note, parents must remain onsite during classes.

Please bring a drink bottle and snack/lunchbox if needed. Food will not be provided at the session.

Minimum numbers apply.

9am - 11 am: Beeswax candles + Ceramic candle holder

Roll and decorate beautiful beeswax candles, then sculpt your own unique ceramic candlestick holders from real clay. All materials will be provided so you can roll a few candles each and decorate them with natural coloured beeswax using a range of cutters, shapes and techniques. You'll have the perfect little set to burn your own candles at home in a ceramic candle-holder made by you!

Nature-based creations will be ready to take home the same day. Pottery pieces will be professionally fired, glazed, and ready for collection in approximately three weeks.
