Duration

- Tools include a melting container, wick holders, mixing sticks, and wick stickers
What you need to bring
- Access to a stove or microwave
How to prepare your workspace
-
To prepare your workspace, you'll want a flat surface with easy access to the stove or microwave and free of any electronics (as they don't mix well with wax!)
- If you are using the microwave, please use the provided measuring cup melting container.
- If you are using the stove, you will need to set up a double boiler which requires a small pot and a container to fit over top of the small pot. Your instructor will guide you on how to create this during the workshop, but here are some additional instructions:
- To make a double boiler, half-fill a pot with water and place it on the stove at low-medium heat. Cover a GLASS, METAL, OR CERAMIC container, which is larger than the rim of the pot, with aluminum foil and place on the top of the pot. Here is a video explanation. Remember to always use an oven mitt to touch the container when it is hot!

My kit hasn't arrived. What should I do?
It's rare, but sometimes mail gets lost or delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.
