About the class

Just in time for the holiday season! Craft your very own handmade ceramic candles from start to finish… including the the scent! Spend your first session with Lynn Wood, creating beautiful hand built ceramic candle holders (no experience necessary to join!). Your candle holders will exude the beauty of raw clay with oxide washes on the exterior for surface decoration and design.

The center staff will fire your beauties within the week for you to return and get a lesson in scent creation and candle pouring from the candle whizz herself, Ricci Wheatley. During this time, Ricci will speak on her history of candle pouring and ceramic object making, taking you down memory lane as you build your own signature sent.
