Time: 6pm - 8pm
Cost: $90

Workshop Description:

In this workshop, participants will explore the process of making their own hand-dipped beeswax taper candles. We will work through the steps of preparing the beeswax, making wicks, and dipping candles with the option of adding natural pigments and essential oils.

We will focus on honing our skills to make straight tapered candles but will also explore other creative and experimental candle shapes. Each participant will leave with at least two candles and the confidence and knowledge to make more at home. 

About the Instructor

Andrea Hurley

Andrea Hurley

Ceramic Artist and Culinary Experimenter living in Nevada City

Originally from New England, she studied art at University of Southern Maine. After moving to the SF Bay Area to pursue her creative practice, she managed a large community studio in Berkeley where she taught classes in clay and firing techniques in gas and soda kilns. Now living in the woods outside of Nevada City, Andrea produces functional and sculptural objects from porcelain and native clays in her home studio, firing in her experimentally designed, handmade wood kiln. Also at home, there is never not something fermenting. After discovering the wide range of possibilities in fermentation, Andrea makes everything from sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso, to kombucha, shrubs, and wild-crafted sodas. For the past few years, Andrea has also farmed grapes and produced wines and ciders from local Sierra foothill vineyards and orchards. She fostered this knowledge of natural winemaking by working with winemakers in Sonoma county, the Rhone valley, and the Republic of Georgia. As a teacher and DIY polymath, Andrea strives to empower and inspire others to explore the joys of experimentation in creative pursuits.
