Candle-Making Workshop
Celebrate the season with a cozy December Candle-Making Workshop at Idle Hands Craft Ales! Whether you’re creating heartfelt holiday gifts or adding a warm glow to your winter nights, this creative evening pairs seasonal scents with the welcoming atmosphere of one of Malden’s favorite breweries.
🕯 Each participant will make two candles in tins or jars, or one in a dough bowl. Jar styles and scents may vary depending on availability.
✨ Theme: December — Think fresh pine, peppermint, cranberry, mulled cider, and cozy fireside aromas as you design your own soy wax candles inspired by the magic of the season.
👨👩👧 Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
