Hot Wax Saturdays in Ellinwood, KS: Candle-Making Workshop!
Looking for things to do in Ellinwood, Kansas? Join us every Saturday at Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co. for our Hot Wax Saturdays candle-making workshop! It's the perfect way to spend your weekend in Ellinwood, whether you're a local or just visiting. Come experience a fun, hands-on activity where you can make your very own custom soy wax candle.
What’s Included in Our Hot Wax Saturdays Workshop?
-
Create Your Own Candle: Bring your own vessel (like a teacup, mason jar, or even a unique find from downtown Ellinwood) or choose from our collection of beautiful candle jars. Our soy wax is already scented, so all you have to do is pour and wait for it to cool!
-
Choose from 3 Luxurious Fragrances: We offer a rotating selection of premium, locally sourced soy wax scents. Each week, you can try something new or stick with your favorite fragrance.
-
No Experience Necessary: Whether you’ve never made a candle before or you’re a seasoned pro, our workshop is designed for all levels. We guide you through every step, so you leave with a one-of-a-kind candle you created yourself.
How the Workshop Works:
-
Bring Your Own Vessel: Got a special mug, glass, or jar you want to transform into a candle? Bring it with you! You’re also welcome to refill your Kansas Earth and Sky Candle Co. jar from previous purchases.
-
Vessel Guidelines: Make sure your vessel can hold boiling water (we won’t use shot glasses or thin wine glasses for safety). We'll inspect all vessels before we pour to ensure a safe and successful candle-making experience.
-
Just $2 Per Ounce of Wax: No ticket required, just come by anytime during workshop hours. You only pay for the amount of wax you use! No minimum purchase, no hidden fees.
What to Expect at the Event:
-
Cooling Time: Your candle will take about 45 minutes to cool, which gives you plenty of time to explore the best things to do in Ellinwood. Visit local landmarks like the Ellinwood Underground Tunnels, browse charming downtown shops, or grab a bite at a local café.
-
Pick Up Your Candle: Once your candle has cooled, come back to pick it up before the shop closes at 4:00 PM. If you can’t make it in time, we’ll hold onto your candle until the following week for you to collect.
Additional Info:
-
Last Call to Pour: Last call for pouring your candle is at 3:00 PM each Saturday. Be sure to arrive early so you have time to create your candle and let it cool!
