A seasonal craft to take home
The workshop explores several ways of working with beeswax, including taper candles and smaller moulded pieces. Samhain themes provide creative prompts, while the connection to bees and the farm gives the materials a local context. A walk to the beehives may be included when the weather allows; it is not a guaranteed part of every session.
