About this Event

This festive season, come and make a batch of hand-dipped beeswax candles, led by interdisciplinary designer Yesenia Thibault-Picazo.

Yesenia’s work looks at the stories and ecological potential that materials carry, combining research with traditional craft and making by hand. She has worked with beeswax for many years, a material made by bees from the nectar of thousands of flowers, holding something of the place and season it originates from.

Dipping is the oldest method of making a candle. Each dip into warm wax adds a thin new layer, and the candle slowly builds up. It’s a traditional method with a calm rhythm of its own.

The workshop starts with tea and a short introduction to Yesenia’s work. She’ll then guide you on the craft of dipping candles, and you’ll spend the rest of the session making your own candles at your own pace. You’ll leave
