A carousel full of beeswax magic, happy candlemakers, beautiful candles and lovely words from past participants ✨🐝
Last weekend’s workshop was a joy to facilitate.
Every single person is given the same brief, the same materials, and the same guidance... yet everyone left with something unique and full of their personality.

Working with beeswax is unlike working with any other material. It represents the land the bees forage from. When you understand the origins of beeswax, you begin to see the magic it holds.

What makes this workshop so special is that you’re taught by both a beekeeper and an artist - ME! Someone with genuine respect and connection to the craft, the origins and the story behind this precious earth-infused medium. We don’t just make candles, we explore where beeswax comes from, the communities it supports, and how to work with it intentionally. A day rooted in creativity and appreciation for people, planet and pollinators.

Many past participants can vouch for the excellent supply of food and snacks. There is a reason for this...my studio feels like a second home to me, and if you’re a guest in my space, you’re getting fed. That’s me, that’s my culture, it’s what both my Mums expect of me. So expect a warm, cosy studio, good company, plenty of tea, coffee, treats and a lot of laughter along this journey.

One of my favourite moments is at the end of the day when everyone carefully packs away their candles. You can see how proud they are of what they’ve made and honestly, it makes me ridiculously happy every single time.
Thank you to this weekend’s wonderful group- you were an absolute treat to teach. 🧡
There are just 3 spaces remaining for next month’s workshop.

BEESWAX STAINED GLASS ✨🐝
At first glance you may think this is a sheet of stained glass…
They’re actually beeswax.
One of my favourite moments is watching my students create these colourful beeswax sheets after they have learnt to make traditional dipped candles. Every single one is completely unique.
✨ Psychedelic. Camouflage. Mermaid-inspired. Splattered. Marbled. Bold. Subtle - each beeswax sheet reflects the personality of its maker. Hold them up to the sunlight and they glow. The colours come alive.

Personality over perfection is always encouraged in my workshop. To get messy, to play, to touch the earth infused mediums and ingredients, to make mistakes! We celebrate creativity. We push individuality. We give gratitude to the bees. We enjoy making something with our own hands…for we are not machines.
These sheets are later rolled into beautiful marbled beeswax candles using a unique technique I’ve developed and teach exclusively at The Wild Bee Company. I have invented this!

Every workshop leaves me completely blown away by what people create. No two interpretations of the beeswax candle brief are ever the same, and that’s exactly the point!

Forage elderflower with me to make a delicious twist on a classic Indian dessert - Rasmalai!
Ras + malai means ‘juice and cream’ in Hindi. The name perfectly captures the essence of this juicy, creamy dessert made of cheese sponges soaked in cardamom and saffron-infused milk.
Homemade Rasmalai is a bit of a flex. It takes practice to master the art of making the perfect ras malai discs. This was my first attempt and thanks to my Mother-in-law’s advice, everything went smoothly!
Step-by-step instructions in the reel but I will be elaborating on the process in a blog post soon to come on my new swanky website.
Proper, non-homogenised milk is essential for this recipe.
A blend of tradition and innovation, so please share, tag me and try it out.
