Join us for a hands-on Taper Dipping Workshop, where you'll craft your own pair of beeswax tapers. Guided by Sara Wait, founder of Slow Burn, this slow and meditative process invites you to connect with the warmth of natural beeswax while learning the art of traditional candle-making. Whether you're looking to try something new, connect with your creative side, or simply enjoy a mindful moment, this workshop offers a warm and welcoming environment to do just that.

During the session, you’ll learn the art and technique of hand-dipping tapers, working with 100% pure, locally sourced beeswax. You'll leave with a pair of beautiful, functional candles to enjoy in your home or gift to someone special.

What’s Included:

  • A pair of 12" beeswax taper candles.
  • Expert guidance from Sara Wait on the mindful process of candle making.
  • All materials and tools needed to create your candles.
  • Access to a Slow Burn pop-up shop with additional candles available for purchase.
  • Light refreshments and snacks.

No experience is necessary, just bring yourself and a willingness to try something new. Spots are limited, so reserve your ticket today!

Testimonials

Confident in my work

I took a taper making class with Sara and she was a phenomenal instructor. Her passion for her work is clearly evident, and she infuses the experience with meditation and a relaxing environment. I left feeling fully confident in replicating/perfecting my work. I highly recommend her candles and her classes to anyone who is interested in learning the art of candle making!

Satisfying & relaxing process

My fiancé and I did the tapered candle making class together for our unity candles, and they turned out fantastic! Sara was a fantastic teacher, very patient and welcoming throughout it all and made the class feel like a very satisfying and relaxing process! Love our candles could not recommend it more!

recommend without hesitation

I recently took one of Sara's candle-making classes and can't rate it highly enough. Sara quite clearly took the time, thought, and effort to arrange a pleasant and informative event. Her instruction was thorough and complete without making it seems like a rigid, step-by-step process, and I enjoyed learning more about her company and how she has grown her business. I would recommend her classes without hesitation. Thank you, Sara!

Expectional quality

Every Slow Burn candle is made by hand out of the home studio of our founder, Sara Wait, in St. Paul, MN, using 100% pure beeswax sourced from local, family-run apiaries. The wax is triple-filtered for purity, then poured with intention into beautifully curated molds or hand dipped with care. Each candle is designed to burn cleanly and slowly, reflecting Slow Burn’s deep commitment to sustainability, artistry, and exceptional quality.
