Making Beeswax Candles

Make your own beeswax tapers! Register by phone, in person, or online beginning May 1.

Join local Richfield resident Dan Kuczmarski in this unique craft program. Beeswax candles made by doing a series of successive dips of the wick into a container of melted beeswax are called tapers.  With each successive dip, an additional layer of wax adds to the body of the candle, and the process is repeated until the desired candle diameter is achieved. Although the process is quite straightforward, the type of wick material and its size will affect how the candle burns. Wax temperature, wax purity, and the frequency of dipping also affect the results of the candle burn and the aesthetic.

About the branch

The library experience for customers of the Richfield Branch Library is eclectic and energizing. A rich collection of books, music and movies complement programs for all ages, including storytime and interactive play opportunities, book discussion, and more. Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing help to make the Richfield Branch Library a one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.

In the community, you will find librarians working closely with Richfield Government and Recreation, the local schools, the Garden Club, Kiwanis, and more. At the library, opportunities for individual and family engagement include an extensive NatureConnect interactive space, an ongoing StoryWalk collaboration along the Carter Pedigo Trail, and other hands-on, participatory exploration opportunities. Every time you visit the Richfield Branch Library, there is something to do, play, study, explore, or observe—and the chance to make a memory.
