Gather together in a friendly group with Artist Tamsin and The White Witch of Wiltshire, Lynette, to explore the symbols of Imbolc and decorate a candle.

Imbolc is the festival celebrating the return of Spring after the long dark winter days. It is a fire festival, so a candle is a lovely and appropriate tool to lighten and warm your home at this time.

Lynette will lead us in a short welcoming and cleansing ritual to create a safe space and help us to set our intentions. She will talk a little about candle magic to set the scene and guide us in setting intentions for working on our personal candles.

Tamsin will support the creative aspects of candle painting and make sure that we all have everything we need for a companionable evening of crafting.

Refreshments, materials and eventbrite fees are included in the ticet price.

You will recieve an white unscented taper candle (dinner candle,) and a super cute and stylish white earthenware candle holder (pictuered.)

This magical workshop will be hosted in the Barefoot Bindery Studio upstairs at FIsherton Mill, Salisbury.
