Candle decorating

Please bring a candle to decorate at our April 6, 2017 crafting session.


Candles are a central part of the Waldorf meal blessing, and are reverently used in both Passover and Easter celebrations. While Hartsbrook is not allowed to use lit candles on campus, you may enjoy the pleasure of them at your table at home. Working with wax to create something beautiful is a very therapeutic activity and you can also do it with your children at home.

You can decorate tall taper candles or larger diameter pillar candles, or even votive candles. Beeswax is particularly lovely but not at all required.

The school store sells the beautiful thin wax we can use to adorn candles. (See the sample pillar already decorated for spring at the store, open Fridays in Hartsbrook Hall.) 

We will have assorted colors of wax available for sale at a discount at our crafting session:

• 50 cents for half sheets
• $1 for full individual sheets
• $10 for a full box of assorted colors

NOTE: If you have a design in mind and need certain colors, please check with Wendy at the school store to be sure she has the quantity and colors you want.
