Seasonal Scents: Yule Edition

The Hellenic Museum and THEMATIKOS present Seasonal Scents: Yule, a new edition in their popular series of candle-making workshops. Gather your friends, join us for some holiday-themed history and craft, and come away with a bespoke full-sized candle to gift or keep! A unique and hands-on experience that is sure to get you in the mood for the fast-approaching festive season.

What to Expect

Seasonal Scents is no ordinary candle workshop. Set in the beautiful surrounds of the Hellenic Museum, this program combines craft with history, and begins with a historian's introduction to the traditions surrounding candles and the Yuletide season throughout time. Then, with your newfound historical grounding, you'll have the opportunity to make your own soy candle with the help of THEMATIKOS artisans. Select your vessel and be guided through the process of placing your wick, formulating a signature scent from THEMATIKOS' range of fragrances, mixing and hand-pouring your scented wax, then naming and labelling your bespoke creation.

Please note:

Due to the use of hazardous materials, participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. A minimum number of participants is required for this workshop to run. In the instance this number is not met, the workshop will be cancelled and ticket holders will be refunded. Please see specific terms and conditions for this event.

THEMATIKOS

The THEMATIKOS brand was started by a mother and son duo, right here in Melbourne. Inspired by scent's power to trigger nostalgia, they develop blends that draw upon their Greek heritage and life in Melbourne, while also blurring the lines between classical antiquity and contemporary minimalism.
