Join us in honouring Día de los Muertos with a hands-on creative candle decorating experience.
Participants will first watch a demonstration on how these traditional skull candles are crafted, then decorate their very own candle using vibrant colours and designs inspired by the holiday. At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a one-of-a-kind candle to light in celebration or display as a keepsake.
Catherine Berrio, Candlemaker & Facilitator
My name is Catherine Berrio, founder of Kathe Illumination Candles, a dreamer, creative, and entrepreneur from Colombia. As a candle lover, I took an online course to learn the craft and turn my passion into a project that allows me to earn an income from home while embracing my role as a mom.
Today, I design aromatic and decorative candles made with natural coconut and soy wax, wood and cotton wicks, and handmade ceramic jars. Each piece reflects my love for detail and my wish to share fragrances that inspire and bring warmth to life’s special moments.
