2025 Beeswax Dipped Candles
Saturday, May 31, 2025 | 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Join us for an afternoon of dipping beeswax candles as we explore historic methods of light and illumination. During Pleasant Hill's heyday, the Shakers cultivated dozens of beehives, valueing the bees both for their important role as pollinators and for their production of honey and wax. We'll discuss Shaker Village's continuation of this long tradition, including sampling some honey from our hives, before making our own candles over an open fire.
All necessary materials are provided. No experience necessary and all levels are encouraged.
