History of Candles Talk
With Denise at Zilfarni Soaps & Scents
Step back in time and discover the fascinating story of candles and candlemaking, from ancient civilisations to the modern day.
Denise will explore how early societies used animal fats, beeswax and plant materials for light, how candle production evolved through advances in trade, technology and chemistry, and the important role candles have played in homes, rituals and religious life. The talk also covers the rise of chandlers’ guilds, the impact of industrialisation, and today’s revival of beautiful, artisan candle making.
You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of how candles have illuminated human life for thousands of years.
£8 per ticket.
