Natural Beeswax Candles from Latvia

Highly highly recommend this workshop! Tanya was such a delight to meet and chat with. My boys loved making the candles and putting their wishes into the candles. Thank you so much, Tanya, for this unique experience.

I truly loved this workshop. I've never been a "crafting" person, but Tanya made this so fun and engaging! What I enjoyed the most was Tanya's warm, inviting personality and approach to the workshop. She not only made me feel at ease as a first-time crafter, but shared the cultural background about candle making. She also was incredibly warm and encouraging as she coached me through the workshop. I thoroughly enjoy my candles and they are a warm reminder that I am a part of a global community.

We really enjoyed this workshop. Tanya was friendly and informative, not just about candle making but also Latvia and its culture. The candle making was easy and accessible, and was enhanced by a spiritual/mediative component that made the workshop about more than just crafts. It was a global cultural experience that we'd highly recommend for all ages.

My 10 year old daughter really enjoyed this workshop. While making the candles, the instructor added an (optional) opportunity to make a wish or state an intention before completing the candle, and my daughter thought that was really fun and special. Tanya shared a little bit about her country, and even shared that her mother has the same name as my daughter which just delighted her. As soon as the class was finished, my daughter asked me to purchase materials to make many more candles for her friends and family as gifts (Tanya's awesome suggestion). The activity is likely not robust enough for adults, but it's absolutely perfect for children of all ages and abilities.
