Spend part of the day off from work and school getting crafty with nature at Sheldrake. We’ll create a scented candle in a jar that we’ll decorate with dried flowers, newspaper clippings, magazine images, or stickers. Then we’ll pour melted wax and add fragrance oil. Join us for hands-on crafting, connection, scents, and nature.
This activity will be conducted indoors. Participants are also welcome to explore our 60-acre nature preserve before or after the workshop, connecting further with nature at a self-guided pace.
Additional information will be sent via email closer to the program date. Be sure to look for this email ahead of time, including in your spam folder.
