The Art of DIY: Spring Workshop

  • Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center 2410 Wickham Ave Newport News, VA, 23607 United States (map)

Spring into the art of self-care as you create your own candle and body butter in this seasonal workshop! Using high-quality ingredients, you will create your own beautiful, spring-scented candle and body butter, followed by a period of "free create" when you can paint on canvas, contribute to our mosaic ceiling, or color while vibing to music! Take home your creations to use yourself or create a gift package to give to others. This is part one of a four-part seasonal series.

Use our essential oils or bring your own food-grade favorite. Candles will be 10oz and body butters will be 8oz. Please note that candles will need 24 hours to set, and can be taken home the next day. Full curing takes up to 2 weeks.
