Located in the heart of Bedford, Pennsylvania, the Candle-Making Class offered by Home & Harvest invites you to step into a hands-on creative experience that combines artistry with relaxation. This intimate workshop centers on crafting your very own seasonal crock candle, perfect for both seasoned crafters and first-timers. Set against the charming backdrop of Bedford, a town rich with history and a gateway to the Laurel Highlands, this class is a unique way to spend an hour deepening your connection to place through a tactile and fragrant medium.
The class provides everything needed to create a beautiful candle, from Home & Harvest’s signature crock to 100% soy wax and a cotton wick. What sets it apart is the option to customize your candle with seasonal essential oil scents, drawing particularly from a thoughtfully curated Winter line, and to adorn it with dried floral toppings and wax embellishments. These natural elements tie the finished product to the rhythms of the surrounding environment and seasons. The knowledgeable instructors guide you step-by-step, ensuring that your candle not only looks beautiful but burns cleanly and evenly.
This event encourages a laid-back atmosphere where participants can bring their favorite beverage to enjoy while crafting. Plus, patrons receive a discount on bottle purchases at the nearby Composition Art & Wine Bar on the evening of the event, making it easy to pair creativity with refreshment. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, refreshments are also available onsite.
Bedford itself is a hub for outdoor and cultural experiences, just a short drive from key natural attractions such as the Allegheny National Forest and the historic Lincoln Highway.

This class is perfect for anyone looking for a creative outlet that doubles as a meaningful souvenir. Its combination of hands-on crafting, seasonal natural elements, and social, relaxed setting elevates it beyond a typical workshop.
