Candle Making Workshop

Learn how to make traditional hand-dipped taper candles at this simple and educational workshop presented by Hamden’s Department of Arts, Recreation & Culture. Drop in between the hours of 10 and 1 and have some fun while learning a little about the history of candlemaking. For $5.00 each participant can make a pair of candles in a variety of colors and or scents. Most participants are done in 30 minutes. Due to the hot wax the program is not advised for young children. School age children and adults are welcome! The workshop takes place in the Veterans’ Memorial Hall at the park. Just follow the driveway up the hill past the big red barn to the end. Pre-Registration is appreciated so we know how much wax to prepare. Call the park at 203-287-2669 or email staff@brooksvale.org leaving your name, phone and number in your party. If inclement weather moves in, call the park or check the website www.brooksvale.org to see if program is cancelled.
