Make your own beeswax candles and candlesticks from the forest
Make your own beeswax candles and candlesticks from the forest
We meet for a few hours in a small group and create handmade beeswax candles and candlesticks together.
The beeswax is carefully melted in a water bath and then poured into a mold with a fitted cotton wick.
When the beeswax has cooled after about half an hour, the candle is clear and smells good of summer and honey.
We work at a leisurely pace with the various stages.
You also get to make your own completely unique candlestick from wood from the farm and a nice candle holder.
During the workshop, you will learn the technique in the fairytale environment at Röstånga mill and you will get six candles and a personal candlestick home with you.
After the workshop can enjoy the beautiful candle and light it when you can sit for a while by its clear clean flame that burns for a long time. Or you give away a couple of candles as a gift.
It is an activity that is extra cozy and pleasant in the winter months, but which can also be done in the summer. Depending on the weather, we are either indoors or outdoors.
Please note that we are in premises where there are dogs and cats.

Hosted by
My name is Britta Levin, who runs the company and I am a flower grower, creator and nature guide. I mostly stay at the old mill farm Röstånga Mölla outside the village of Röstånga at the foot of Söderåsen, central Scania.
I am passionate about offering time and space for creation close to nature and to be more in the heart and less in the brain.
I am basically a conservation biologist but have changed my path and now work more down-to-earth and creative and I love my job.
I offer courses and workshops in, for example, flower arranging and from time to time I open up my cut flower cultivation for self-picking. Since I am also a nature guide and want to contribute to promoting people's contact with nature and themselves, I can also hold guided tours and workshops on e.g. a natural area or natural theme.
My flowers are suitable for the conscious person who likes natural, unique and luxurious flowers.
