It's Lit! 🕯️ GumGum's Virtual Candle Making Workshop with Artisane NYC + DIY Instructions

This week, GumGummer’s had the pleasure of participating in a virtual candle-making workshop hosted by Mélanie Rousselet of Artisane NYC, a woman-owned candle studio. The event not only provided a much-needed creative break but also supported a woman-owned local business that prides itself on sustainable candle making.

Artisane’s goal is to make better and cleaner candles. They use only premium quality natural waxes, phthalate-free fragrances, and 100% cotton wicks, all of which were included in the candle kits that each participant received ahead of the workshop.

By the end of the workshop, each GumGummer made two natural scented candles and left knowing more about the art of candle making and best practices for making and/or buying non-toxic and sustainable candles.
