Connecting with Fire: Paint a Custom Candle

Area Featured: Fire Station, Craft Fabrication Shop

Minimum Age: 12 years old

Come custom decorate your own pillar candle while experiencing the ways fire can connect! During this class, you'll be guided through painting a white pillar candle with colorful lit tea candles. This class will not only teach you how to bring your designs to life while building relationships with both the flame and your fellow classmates. Flames are known as both something to fear but also as a life giving element. This class will lead you through building your trust with the flame while the calming activity will bring you closer to your fellow classmates. By the end of this class, you'll leave with a unique candle and new connections in your community.

All skill levels welcome! We'll have design samples for you to reference, or you can create your own design.
