Workshops · Monthly · Portland, Maine

Pour your own, with us.

Once a month we open the studio for candle-pouring workshops. Spend time at the bench learning how a candle is made by hand, then take the experience home. It makes a good gift, too: an afternoon given instead of an object.

Dates are posted at the studio. Stop in, or ask at the counter about the next session.
