You will be able to choose your own botanical embellishments to add to the base of wax, wood shavings and other recycled elements. While they are setting we will craft a box to gift them in. These make a perfect gift for those with a fire-pit or log burner.Craft 2 - Rolled beeswax candlesIn this session from our Wild Harvest collection you will learn about the many benefits of natural beeswax candles. We will show you how to make different styles of rolled beeswax candles, including the classic dinner candle or pillar, and the more unusual spiral candles. You will be able to choose from a selection of natural or coloured pure beeswax sheets to combine with cotton wick to make three tall dinner candles (or equivalent). You will decorate your finished candles with your choice of dried botanicals, gorgeous ribbons and pretty stamped gift tags.Craft 3 - Willow weavingIn this session you will be led through the creative process involved to turn this natural material into a beautiful rustic item that can be used as a bird feeder for your garden or, alternatively, to store garlic! Willow weaving requires a reasonable level of hand strength and dexterity, however this is a short project where you can go at your own pace and so is suitable for most people.
