About the Instructor:
Kimberly Kilgore is a mother of 5 and once put up the good fight for the people as a prosecutor for twenty years! She left that world behind and decided to use her creative talents to spread joy! In 2023, she opened a boutique and maker’s space in Mascoutah, Illinois, Paper Moon. She held her first candle making class over a year ago and it has since become her passion! She makes and offers several varieties of candles, wax melts, and diffusers at Paper Moon and hosts classes in multiple locations, offering others the opportunity to learn how to make candles.
In this class, you will enjoy learning basic candle knowledge and science, choosing your scent, and hand pouring two, 100% soy candles from soybeans produced right here in the heartland!
