Candle Making at Marsh Hen Mill
Soy Candle Making at The Mill
We have the perfect experience for you for a break in the day and something interactive to do. Join Kaiwylde Botanica at the historic Marsh Hen Mill Pavilion on Edisto Island for a hands-on, sensory workshop designed to illuminate your world.
About the Experience
Whether for yourself or as a gift for someone special, candles are a beautiful source of aromatherapy. In this 1-hour workshop, you will learn the process of crafting your own premium candle using 100% natural soy wax and ocean-inspired fragrances. You’ll choose your favorite scent and blend it to create a finished product that brings the spirit of the coast into your home.
While your candle cools and cures, you may visit the Marsh Hen Mill Market and explore their variety of snack & gifts.

Important Workshop Details
-
Ages: 7+ with adult supervision. (We use melted wax at high temperatures; safety is our priority!)

Attire: Dress comfortable and casual. Spills can happen, so we suggest wearing an old shirt or something you don’t mind getting a little wax on.

Timing: We start promptly to respect everyone's time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, we ask that you reschedule.

Candle Curing: Your candle will be ready to take home that day! For best results, let it rest for 48 hours before burning to allow the fragrance to fully bind with the wax.
