Tapers, Tealights and Luminaries - A Beeswax Candle Making Workshop

Join this advanced class and make tapers, tealights and luminaries with 100% pure beeswax, while mastering dipping, casting & rolling.

In this class we will focus on three popular candle types - Tapers, Tealights and Luminaries, and the various techniques and equipment used to make them.

TAPERS we will be using different techniques: dipping using a variety of dipping rigs; moulding using several types of silicone moulds; and rolling using beeswax foundation sheets. We will also look at options for decorating your tapers.

TEALIGHTS we will be comparing silcone tealight moulds with tealight tins, and looking at when to add the wicks.

LUMINARIES we will be dipping moulds and decorating with dried flowers.

We will also cover rendering and cleaning your wax, wax melting and wax melters, and choosing the right wicks.

Group Size

Because of the complexity of the techniques we will be covering, the class size will be limited to six participants.

Our Beeswax

At Coffs Beekeeping Supplies we only use pure beeswax sourced from our own hives, or from local reputable beekeepers. We render and filter all the beeswax used here on site.

Why Beeswax?

Beeswax is a naturally occuring wax that burns clean and bright, and releases a subtle natural floral odour . It is made by the bees and is gathered during honey harvesting. All we do is warm it and filter it beofore use. No chemcial processing, bleaching, or the addition of dyes, fillers or perfumes. Just pure local bees wax.
