About
Make your own beeswax candles
We meet for a few hours in a small group and create handmade beeswax candles 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. During the workshop, you will learn the technique in the fairytale environment at Röstånga mill and you will get four candles home with you. Then 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. It is an activity that is extra cozy and pleasant in the winter, but which can also be done in the summer. Depending on the weather, we are either indoors or outdoors.

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 yard Röstånga mill 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.

The location
Röstånga Mölla, Röstångamölla, Röstånga
From Röstånga village behind the school and the church there is a gravel road signposted towards Tibbaröd. It is just over a kilometer to walk, cycle or drive to the old mill farm which rests in a depression by the Lilla Bäljane å. When you arrive at the address, there is a gravel parking lot on the right, then we will meet you and take you to the venue we will be in. The venue is made according to the season and in the summer months we are in the beautiful Orangerie, where there is plenty of space , is bright and protected from the weather. In the winter we are probably in the warm and spacious apartment building. A dog and a cat live in the house and they like to cuddle and be petted for a while.
