Making soy candles is relatively simple and consists of three basic parts melting the wax, adding fragnace oil and assembly. However, the process requires the knowledge of safety instructions and key details making the candle safe to use, smelling good and looking beautifull.
The workshop hosted by Ms Anna Kazanskaia consisted of two parts – theory and practice.
At the first part, ladies were taught the theory on how to make good quality candles, how to decorate it, how to choose materials, colours, essential oil.
During the second part of the workshop, women were invited to try to make their own candles and see on practice all the aspects of theory learned.
