In this class, you'll learn about the materials used to make soy container candles and several fragrance-blending frameworks. With all materials provided--including a wonderful selection of autumn-themed fragrances--you'll then create two original scent blends and pour two of your own candles using these blends!

Since candles need a couple of hours to cool, your creations will be ready to take home later in the day of the workshop. Please feel free to bring a beverage to enjoy while we create!

This class is taught by Erin Hils, the candlemaker behind the local brand Reverie + Felicity Studio.

She is a chandler and creative of more than a decade. Through Reverie + Felicity Studio, Erin offers candles and kits featuring original scent blends she formulated to enhance and inspire your creative moments. She loves introducing folks to the fun of candlemaking, sharing in the joy of communal creating and believes everyone has creative gifts to discover and take pleasure in. If you're curious about candlemaking, this hands-on experience is a robust but accessible way to get in touch with your creativity.

 In this class you will receive step by step instruction on how to draw and paint your own watercolor (past designs have included a heron and a monstera leaf!) All supplies will be provided, and Lauren will walk you through how to to create your own 6x9 painting you get to take home.

Decolonizing Tarot (Tarot for Justice) is centered around highlighting the controversial nature of the tarot itself (historically and currently with appropriation and elitism, abuse and silencing of the tarot/witchy community in general). 

We will also discuss de-gendering and anti-violence with one's tarot practice [in that it has traditionally been pages, knights, queens and kings - but there are other ways of identifying the court cards and members of the Majors].
