Scripted Fragrance Spring Candle-Making Class
Welcome to our Spring Candle-Making Class!
Come join us at Scripted Fragrance for a hands-on experience in creating two (2) 8oz soy candles. Our expert candle artisans will guide you through the process, from selecting the perfect scents to pouring the wax and adding the finishing touches.
First, you will hand-pour your very own 8oz jar candle and select a label design you love. We will guide you through the process of wicking, measuring, and pouring your own candle. Next, you will use your newly acquired skills to pair a fragrance with our Spring-themed Reusable Rocks Glass Candle that doubles as a drinking glass!
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned candle maker, this class is perfect for anyone looking to learn a new skill or simply enjoy a fun and relaxing activity.
Spaces are limited, so be sure to secure your spot today. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of candle making and walk away with beautiful candles that you can proudly display or give as thoughtful gifts to your loved ones. You will also have the opportunity to shop our retail store and enjoy an exclusive discount of 20% off all in-store purchases during your workshop!
Please note, your candles will need to cure for at least 24 hours and therefore are not available to take home the same day. Candles will be available for pickup during normal business hours, M-F 9:00am-5:30pm & Saturday 12pm-4pm. We will hold them for two weeks after your workshop date or they can be shipped directly to you for a flat rate of $10 in the lower 48.

We've curated a superstar lineup of gorgeous luxury fragrances to tell the story of each Era and will guide you through the process of wicking, measuring, and pouring your own candles. Because each era just hits different, you can choose your own fragrance to pair with your Taylor Swift inspired labels.
Whether you're trying to capture the essence of Snow on the Beach or Lavender Haze, you'll feel the sparks fly with all of the creative combinations you can choose from!
You will even be able to add YOUR favorite lyric on a candle label. Simply add it as you checkout and we will have a personalized label ready for you at your class! Please note, this must be done BEFORE your class.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned candle maker, this class is perfect for anyone looking to learn a new skill or simply enjoy a fun and relaxing activity that you'll cherish forever and always.

Chris Pawelski almost ran out of time. As a 4th-generation onion farmer on the post-glacial black dirt of Goshen, NY, Chris is just one of millions of farmers in America facing the unnecessarily Sisyphusian task of earning a living. "Muckville" follows the story of Chris's family farm through time, from the 'Polish wave' of the early 20th century, through the onset of climate change-driven crop failures in the 1990s and subsequent pitfalls of US agriculture policy, and Chris's resulting existential crisis. This short documentary provides rare insight into the ongoing mental health epidemic on American farms, and paints a delicate and emotional portrait of resilience and love amid unbeatable odds. A winner of HUDSY's 2023's Community Content Fund Program. Directed, photographed and edited by Jeff Mertz.
🍽 Enjoy food and drinks while connecting with like-minded community members.
Chris and Eve Pawelski will be joining us and taking your questions after the film. Don’t miss this special evening of education, inspiration, and connection! 🌿

Too Good To Toss! mini: kids
This new Too Good To Toss mini is designed for your convenience! Donations and "shopping" will happen on the same day like a more traditional swap event. Donations will be accepted between 9am and 2pm only, we will be open for shopping until 5pm. This is an indoor event.
As the event name suggests, we will only be accepting/ swapping items for children and babies (roughly 12 and under). We understand that, by nature, kids stuff tends to be a little more "well-loved", still we insist that donations will only be accepted that are clean, in good working order and include all their parts. If a game is missing a piece or a doll is missing a shoe, we kindly ask that you find a different avenue for rehoming your goods.
Please visit wickhamworks.org for full details and for volunteer opportunities.
