Little Rock Literary Link Up: Candle-Making with Christina C. Jones

The Literary Link Up Tour — Art of Candle-making with Christina C. Jones brings a tactile, social craft night to Little Rock, Arkansas. This adults-only, 21+ event combines a live author conversation with a guided hands-on workshop led by BLUMOON Scents and Rese Alisa. Over 90 minutes you'll move between scent stations, learn simple blending techniques, and construct a finished candle or luxurious body butter to take home. The location is Little Rock, AR, in the heart of a city known for its riverfront and growing arts community. Though the exact venue varies, the experience centers on sensory learning: premium waxes, fragrance oils, essential-oil accents, and colorants are laid out for step-by-step instruction. Key scene features include a scent bar for sampling notes, communal worktables for blending, and a small stage where the featured author—here Christina C. Jones—shares insights and answers questions. What makes this evenings special for visitors is the combination of craft and conversation. The candid author discussion offers context for the creative process while the maker’s table invites experimentation. The tactile focus—melting wax, measuring oils, and pressing wicks—creates a low-stress, social atmosphere that feels like a creative studio crossed with a living-room salon. Personalization is central: select your own fragrance profile, tweak color and texture, and leave with an item that reflects your choices. Practical details matter: this is a ticketed event with tiered options. General Admission grants entry and refreshments; Signature and VIP tiers add a complimentary cocktail, hands-on BLUMOON creation, and swag. All sales are final and the event enforces a 21+ age limit; check the confirmation email for arrival instructions and ingredient lists if you have sensitivities.

Whether you’re passing through on a weekend trip or basing in town for longer, the Literary Link Up Tour offers a focused, social creative outlet that complements Little Rock’s broader arts offerings.
