Candle Making Workshop

Want to feel cozy and prepare for Hanukkah festivities at the same time?

On Sunday December 14th, join local artisan Sheryl Shore of Mile-End Soap & Candle Supply for an afternoon of beeswax candle dipping in the spirit of Hanukkah. Guests will be guided through standard candle dipping methods as they each create 8 individual shamash candles for their hanukkiah lighting rituals. During the workshop, Shore will also provide context on candle-making, the life of bees and wax production, and her personal experiences with the craft. No prior experience required!

Participants do not need to celebrate Hanukkah, and alternate candle-making options are available: candle sticks, birthday candles, etc. are encouraged as well!

Tickets are $25. All necessary materials provided. Due to limited capacity, advanced registration is encouraged. Click here to reserve your spot.

About Sheryl:

Lured by the intoxicating aroma of beeswax, Sheryl Shore began dipping candles 25 years ago. Shore is committed to valourizing the work of bees who create the wax, and brings a modern take on the ancient craft. Shore grew up with a very strong cultural Jewish identity, and the nuanced relationship she has with her traditional background has led her to create candles that may contribute to peaceful contemplation.
