botanical candles

Thursday, May 16th | 6 PM | Our Lady of the Snows | $5 | Sign-Up Required

Summer is a few months away and soon our gardens will be filled with flowers! Gain hands-on experience in creating beautiful botanical candles. Creating candle art starts with selecting and arranging pressed flowers for your design. We will supply you with flowers and foliage to choose from. You will learn how to harvest and press your own flowers at home! Embedding floral into candles is fun, and you will learn a technique that can be done from your own home. You will create and take home a botanical pillar candle and a candlestick.

Evi is an artist, designer, and educator. Evi holds an industrial design degree and has been creating art since 6th grade. She loves to teach adult and children’s creative workshops ranging from printmaking to pottery to candle making. Her work can be found in galleries, stores, and art markets across Wyoming, California, Nevada, and Utah. In 2020, Evi started making candles as a fundraiser for COVID PPE. She sold over 500 candles before pausing to pursue living in a van and traveling across the American West. Now that she is settled again, she has resumed candle making. Her latest candles embed dried pressed flowers into pillar candles and candlesticks. In the summer, her candles incorporate wild flowers of the West. She’s excited to offer classes to the community!
