Millbee Studio Fundit Project

I had the idea to run workshops in candle making for the past couple of years and have now decided to bite the bullet and set these up! Over the past 20 years, I've worked on various design and craft projects as well as teaching courses and facilitating workshops. Perhaps the recent restrictions with no socialising allowed have urged me to create these workshops. Making products together and sharing stories in a group setting is appealing to me and I hope it is for you too! So with this in mind, we are developing our studio space to facilitate creative workshops with an emphasis on well-being. Our first classes will be candle-making. Participants will learn traditional candle dipping methods, using moulds and making hand-rolled candles from beeswax.

Our molded candles are made from 100% beeswax with eco dyes

Coffee and herbal tea ceremonies will take place in our garden room among plants, calming scents and music. Our goal is to provide a sensory experience for participants and a tranquil environment to recharge and practice mindfulness through craft.

Fundit Campaign

We have our studio space and a half-built wellness garden room. But we need help to get our workshops fully set up. I felt creating a Fundit Campaign was our best option to do this. When you fund our project you will receive a mix of Millbee products and/or vouchers for our upcoming workshops. We plan to start workshops in September. Your money will go towards candle-making equipment (melting pots, dipping rigs, jugs), chairs, toilet facility, exit door, and completion of the garden wellness room (windows, bench seating & stove). If you would like to find out further information or fund our campaign please check out our Fundit Page
