Candle-Making Workshop with Good Boi candles

Have you ever wanted to learn how the candle-making process works?

Would you like to pour your own candle and discover more about scents and fragrances?

On Sunday 24th November we are hosting a candle-making workshop in collaboration with our friends at Good Boi. To celebrate the launch of our first Queer Britain candle, you will be able to pour your own QB candle and take it home at the end of the workshop. Event information below.

THE CANDLE-MAKING WORKSHOP

During the workshop you will learn how a candle is made, from its conception to the development of the fragrances used. You will then be shown how to melt wax, mix the essential oils, add a wick and finally pour your own Queer Britain candle. This experience is an opportunity to learn new skills in a relaxed and safe environment where you can socialise in our community space. All tickets are at a special workshop price of £25.

TIMINGS

Arrivals 1.45pm
Workshop starts at 2pm

- Please note that because of wax setting times, the candles must be picked up after the workshop finishes. Giving you the opportunity to explore our museum and our newest exhibition in collaboration with Queer China UK while waiting.

TICKETS
