Shevchenko Museum, 1604 Bloor Street West, Toronto
Join us on December 11th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM for a hands-on candle-making workshop where you'll craft beautiful candles from natural beeswax using two traditional techniques: dipping and rolling. Our skilled instructor, Yuliia Myroniuk, will guide you through these age-old methods, which were used long before the advent of molds and containers. These techniques have been cherished for generations in Ukraine, particularly for creating wedding and ceremonial candles.
Yuliia will share her extensive experience working with wax, regale you with fascinating stories about its history, and provide step-by-step assistance throughout the entire candle-making process.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will have mastered these two techniques and created their own unique candles, perfect for personal use or as thoughtful holiday gifts.
