Everyone loves candles, but most of us never think of making them ourselves! This is where the Wilton Historical Society comes in! On Saturday, June 3, from 1pm to 2:30pm, the Wilton Historical Society will hold a beeswax candle-making workshop for adults. The recommended age is 18+. The cost of this workshop is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. To register, click here. The Historical Society is located on 224 Danbury Road in Wilton.
Participants will join museum Educator Catherine Lipper to learn about the history and techniques of crafting beeswax candles while making their own pair of candles for a keepsake or gift. In celebration of bees, the program will include a tasting of a homemade honey cake. Don’t miss out on this delightful opportunity to gather and learn a Colonial craft with friends!
While at the workshop, don't miss the new exhibition, The Town Book: E. Boyd Smith's 20th Century Wilton. The exhibition explores Wilton’s evolution from a small farming community into the modern suburb it is today. The exhibition will display Smith’s art alongside objects from the museum’s collection to offer different perspectives on Wilton’s development during the first half of the 1900’s. The museum is open Tues. - Sat. from 10 am to 4 pm.
