Summer has finally arrived and however you choose to spend these longer, brighter days – whether you’ll be enjoying gentle strolls along the beach, dining al fresco with friends and family, or simply soaking up the sun rays – you can capture it all at an exclusive candle making workshop.
For one day only, Laura Thomas Co. is hosting a pop-up workshop in the heart of Edinburgh where fragrance fans can blend a selection of summer scents to create their own bespoke candle.
Time: Sessions start at 10:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm and 2:30pm
Duration: 30-45 minutes
Cost: £35 per person
Booking: Places are strictly limited.
Guiding attendees through the basics of olfactory compositions will be Laura Thomas herself, founder of the award-winning lifestyle brand. Drawing on her years of experience pairing scents to create candles that stir the senses, Laura will reveal the secret to balancing top, heart and base notes.
Taking place at Moleta Munro on Saturday 17th May, all attendees at this hands-on workshop will take away their own uniquely perfumed candle, created using natural scents, 100% pure soy wax, a textile grade cotton wick, and presented in a reusable glass jar. The 8.5oz candle will burn for 35 hours, so attendees can enjoy their scent of the summer long after the sun sets.
Attendees will also get an exclusive first look at the brand-new summer range from Laura Thomas Co. which includes a stylish summer beach towel, a bright and colourful clutch bag for those summer evenings, a pretty basket for picnics on the beach, and a citronella travel candle to keep bugs at bay.
Plus, there will be treats served throughout the workshop, including tea, coffee and snacks during the morning sessions, and fizz, mocktails and nibbles in the afternoon.
Speaking ahead of the workshop, Laura commented: “The start of summer is such a special time. The prospect of slowing down and enjoying endless days in the sun instantly lifts the soul, and I’m excited to help capture those feelings. I’ll be assisting all our candle makers in creating aromas that evoke memories of summertime in years gone by, and spark excitement for the sun-filled days that lie ahead. I can’t wait to see what deeply personal combinations they all come up with.”
