Making Christmas: Candles

Ulster Folk Museum, 153 Bangor Rd, Cultra, Holywood, County Down, BT18 0EU
Making Festive Candles at Ulster Folk Museum

About

Get hands-on at our Christmas candle making workshop at the Ulster Folk Museum on Saturday 30th November. Join Juliana from the Juliana Made This Candle Co. as you make the perfect hand-made gift for someone this festive season.
Juliana will guide you through the fun process of making your own festive soy candle. You'll be provided with the tools and materials to make your candle at the workshop, as well as choosing a scent and colour. Take inspiration from the native plants and trees found in the Folk Museum as you learn about the history of candles and candle making.
Have a tasty treat as you work, prepared by Erin at The Edible Flower, to fuel your creativity. Start with some warm mulled apple juice to drink, before enjoying mini herb scones with lemon & dulse butter and Walter Ewings Smoked Salmon, followed by a Tunisian orange cake with Greek yoghurt.*
