What to expect
Two hours, after work
Sessions run 6:30–8:30 PM on weekday evenings — designed to fit naturally after the workday ends.
Small group, social atmosphere
Capped at 20 people. Enough to meet someone new; small enough to actually talk.
Seasonal themes, every session
Each workshop has its own theme — Halloween harvest, Thanksgiving, holiday, Valentine's, spring. You make candles that fit the season.
