SUMMARY:Beeswax Candles Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time and experience the warm glow of history at the J.F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center. As part of the Past Times at Glidden series\, this hands-on workshop invites participants to explore the art and function of beeswax candle making in the 19th century. \n\n\n\nBegin with a brief look at how candlelight shaped daily life in early American homes—long before the flip of a switch. Then\, guided by instructor Courtney Sliga\, create your own set of beautiful\, functional candles. Each participant will make and take home four handcrafted beeswax candles. \n\n\n\nThis workshop takes place on Sunday\, May 24 from 1-4 pm at the Glidden Homestead\, 921 W. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb. The cost is $55 per person\, with a portion of proceeds supporting the Homestead’s mission. Pre-registration is required and tickets can be purchased at GliddenHomestead.org. \n\n\n\nThe Past Times at Glidden series is part of the site’s America250 programming\, celebrating traditional trades and crafts that helped shape the nation. These programs connect historic practices to the site’s own story as the home of Joseph F. Glidden\, who invented and first manufactured “The Winner” barbed wire on this property in the 1870s.
