Candle making workshop – 22 June 2019

It was a stormy weekend in Cape Town, but none the less – this Saturday, with butterflys in my tummy, I hosted my first official candle making workshop. My favorite part was connecting with this inspiring group of ladies over the art of candle making! 

The #SMLCandlemaking workshop is a hands-on 3-hour workshop hosted in Salt River, Cape Town. We cover the basics of candle making with a fundamental focus on hand poured vegan soy wax scented massage candles. This workshop is based on our personal experience and how we use traditional craftsmanship with pure ingredients to create a top quality product that burns sustainably, smells divine and is also a nourishing massage oil.

You have the opportunity to explore a range of essential oils, blending them to create a balance of beautiful scents. Did you know that essential oils have healing properties? We also look into this and you will leave the workshop with two of your own signature candles – ready to enjoy at home.

We then take your physical product into the digital world, we share the basics on how to create a personal brand with a focus on Instagram as a platform. This will include photo editing tools, our favourite apps and tips on how to maximise your engagement.
