~ Holly Go Studio ~
We're so excited because KTO arranged an interesting class for us to make our own scented candle. Actually scented candle is gaining popularity for home decor. The scented candle not only has nice fragrance, it also create calm, relaxing and romantic ambiance.
We walked down this beautiful and quaint small alleys with
Mr Kang Cheol and Sera eonni from KTO.
This shop with colorful mural wall caught our eyes,
Kim eonni called to check the location and actually Holly Go studio
is on the second floor of this building~!^^
Small and cozy studio perfectly fit 10 of us
(Taiwanese team was scheduled on another class).
Lovely~! The studio also displaying beautiful flowers candles and soaps!
The instructor started giving step by step procedures and demonstration.
Kim eonni and Japanese tour guide translated the steps in English and Japanese to us.
We're super serious and attentive to follow every single instructions given...
~ to wipe the glasses without leaving a single drop of water,
~ make sure the wicks stick steadily on the middle of the glasses,
~ use chopsticks to hold the wick so it will stand straight up when pouring the wax,
~ select natural scent oil and drip 15 drops into the soy wax,
~ stir to make sure wax and essential oil blended well,
~ slowly pour the wax into the glass.
My first candle with Lime Basil & Mandarin scent
(라임바질 & 만다린), and second candle with
White Musk + Jasmine (화이트 머스크 + 자스민).
We didn't bring back our candle because it need to be stationed for
about 2 hours for the wax to cool down and solidly harden.
Thank you KTO for this early Christmas Gift.

From the name card, I browsed her blog about our classes. Besides this natural scented soy candle, she also conducting classes for natural soaps and natural cosmetics. Wow~ that's so interesting!
Actually, I did learn how to make it at Korea MICE and Culture Festival 2015 in Singapore.
macaroon shapes soaps because they're so sweet!
It's not only beautiful, but all of these handmade products are using natural ingredients, so they are free from harmful chemical.
