What the workshop looks like
From discovering the material to making your own piece.
We begin with the texture, scent and safe preparation of beeswax foundation. The facilitator demonstrates how to choose a wick and handle the sheet.
Participants roll the sheet evenly around the wick and finish the candle so it remains stable. Depending on the programme, they may combine colours or add a simple decoration.
This is a natural craft workshop inspired by beekeeping, not a claim to one particular regional tradition.
