Candle making has a strong tradition in Sweden. With the long, dark winter nights, candles were essential for lighting and are associated with many of the oldest festivals. Light up the winter by making hand-dipped candles. Additionally, we will create paper heart baskets and Christmas ornaments. You will also learn how to make a traditional Swedish Christmas treat. Bring a pair of sharp scissors. Coffee and sandwiches will be served.

Cost: $15 members, $20 non-members. Reservations are recommended.
