Holidays have you stressed? Come relax and unwind as you’re guided through making the candle from start-to-finish using only pure, non-toxic soy wax. Then you’ll choose from a variety of seasonal scents that are all clean, therapeutic-grade oils. You can even choose from a variety of holiday labels, and you’ll have the option to add glitter and crystals too!
All materials and holiday music are provided, and you can BYOB! We hope to see you there.
This class is on Saturday, November 16 at 7pm. The candle will need time to solidify before you take it home, so you can either pick it up another day or get it shipped to you.

The Umbrella Arts Center presents: NOW. HERE. THIS.
2024-11-16 20:00 - 21:30, 2024-11-17 15:00 - 16:30 | The Umbrella Arts Center, 40 Stow Street, Concord, MA, 01742, United States
The Umbrella Arts Center presents NOW. HERE. THIS., a musical jaunt full of humor, heart, and self-discovery that reminds us of the importance of life’s simple moments and the power of human connection.
Four friends embark on a – figuratively – cosmic adventure to their past and back again, sharing stories along the way about hiding/identity, laughing, living, dying…and middle school, in an attempt to step directly into that elusive “present moment”. From the creative minds behind “[title of show]”, Now. Here. This is more than just a musical – it’s a celebration of life, love, connection, and the boundless potential of the human spirit.
“Astutely directed and choreographed by Larry Sousa, and the cohesive cast faithfully execute the staging expertly from start to finish.” – Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMAG.
Playing through Nov. 17!
