Candle Making Class at Prairiewoods
<p>Did you know that soy wax candles are better for the environment and can be made in less than 30 minutes with items that you have in your kitchen? Join us at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for this fun class where we’ll make a soy wax candle to take home! We’ll be able to pick from different scents and colors for our candle. Facilitator Sandy Rosenberger will also teach us about candle dyes, fragrances, wicks and the different types of waxes available. Kids age 10 or older are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Stick around for Rock Mandala Painting for the Whole Family and make it a full afternoon of creativity! (The finished candle and painted rocks also make great early Mother’s Day gifts!) The cost is $15 per person and includes all supplies (or stay for Rock Mandala Painting for a discounted rate of $25 for both if registered by phone). For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2023-02-18 15:00:00 -0600
