Floral Candles + Floral Design Workshop - May 18
Join local candlemaker Milton and Margie's Candles for a candle + floral design workshop at Indigo & Violet Studio.
Transform a vintage mug into an adorable floral-scented soy candle! You'll learn everything you need to know to make soy candles, including the scent-creation process. To complement your floral arrangement, we'll teach you how to create your own dreamy floral fragrance from a blend of soy-based oils. While our candles are hardening we'll create fresh floral arrangements and you'll learn the basics of floral design, color, texture, and composition - plus tips on how to keep your flowers fresher longer!

All supplies are provided, including soy wax, fragrance oils, and vintage mugs (feel free to bring your own vintage piece if you have something you love!) No experience required - we will provide hands-on instruction and fragrance suggestions. Event is BYOB if you'd like to get the creative juices flowing - glasses + corkscrews will be provided.
