【Workshop(s)】Mantra and Candle Workshop

The traditional Japanese haze candle began in the Muromachi period. Compared with candles made of beeswax, cedar candles are handmade from Wax extracted from cognac berries and are representative Japanese candles. The original color of the Wax is an elegant light green, which is called "uthibairo" in Japan. After oxidation of the tartaric acid, it will gradually discolor and turn to snow white. Clauda Studio will cooperate with Calm Handmade Candle in 2024 to create a new course "Mantra and Candle". Albee, the manager of Calm, instructs students on Wax making techniques, and Claudia, a botanical witch who is proficient in Japanese, explains the history of candles. The two leaders will lead the students to purify their body and mind, and in the baptism of the light mantra, they will make candles layer by layer that can purify and eliminate disasters. Students can learn two ways to make Wax. One is to learn the most traditional manual Wax method by Japanese craftsmen, and the other is to use traditional wooden molds flown to Taiwan from Japan to fill candles and make candles. 【Leader】 ● Candlemaker-Albee Manager of Calm Handmade Candle.
