McClellan will instruct participants on the history of candle making and how to make candles from start to finish. Classic teacups, glasses and tins locally sourced by the artist will be provided to make eco-friendly and unique candles.  Participants will create two candles mixed with their individual scent combinations using a variety of fragrance oils and dried flowers.
