Scented Candle Workshop

A favorite workshop, returning just in time for planning handmade holiday gifts! 

Learn about using essential oils and building complex scents with base, middle and top notes for candle making. Make your own, layered fragrance and pour custom scented candles with Toni Hacker, founder and maker at Beacon Mechantile. Participants will build their own custom fragrance for their candles.

Please bring 1 or 2 finished ceramic vessels to fill. Each should be glazed on the inside, and not larger than 8 oz to use for candles. If you don't have your own ceramic vessel to use, Toni will provide one! Depending on the size of their ceramic vessels, participants may be able to make more candles. 

Toni says, "I've always loved fragrance and the way that scent can completely transport you to a specific place, set a mood, and create memories." Her business uses only certified organic ingredients as carriers in their perfumes, including organic sugar cane alcohol, vegetable glycerin, shea butter, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, beeswax, and jojoba oil. Their small batch candles are hand poured and made with clean burning US grown soy wax, cotton and paper, eco-friendly wicks, and richly scented with custom perfume blends. All candles are 100% phthalate, paraben, dye, and lead free so you can enjoy the relaxing glow of a flickering flame and keep your home healthy.
