CANDLE & CERAMIC CANDEL VESSEL MAKING (All Levels)
4-Week Ceramic Candle Vessel Workshop
With Naomi Boylan Anticipating Daisy Ceramics & Suzanne Clarke Clarkes of Dublin Artisan Bathing & Shaving
Join us for a unique four-week creative experience that blends ceramics and candle-making. Over these 4 lessons, you will design, hand-build, glaze, and fill your own lidded ceramic candle vessel, guided by two makers: ceramic artist Naomi Boylan of Anticipating Daisy Ceramics and scent specialist Suzanne Clarke of Clarkes of Dublin.
Week 1
Hand-Building Your Vessel 2.5 hour class
In the first session, you’ll create your own stoneware ceramic vessel. Naomi will guide you through the hand-building process, shaping your form, adding detail, and preparing your piece for firing.
Week 2
Introduction to Scent and Candle Making 1hour 45min class
This week you’ll explore the world of scent. Indulge in the experience of creating your very own eco-friendly soy wax candle, infused with ethically sourced essential oils. This is an easy and enjoyable process that you can truly make your own.
All ingredients are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. As you embark on this journey, you’ll also begin to develop your own personal scent bank, learning how to blend and build fragrances using these beautiful ingredients.
Week 3
Glazing Your Vessel 2 hour class
Your vessel will have been bisque-fired after Week 1. In Week 3, you’ll return to glaze your piece in your chosen colours and finishes. Naomi will guide you through glazing techniques to ensure a beautiful and durable result. After glazing, your work goes back into the kiln to transform from raw clay into a finished ceramic vessel.
Week 4
Candle Pouring 1 hour 45 min class
In the final week, you’ll pour your custom candle into the ceramic vessel you created. This is an opportunity to tap into your creativity and continue to reimagine how we experience scent in our everyday life. You’ll come away with a beautifully scented candle, designed entirely by you.
