Impressions in wax
In the handicraft candle workshop, participants will be able to draw parallels with Jevgeni Zolotko’s exhibition The Secret of Adam and shape a candle using an unusual technique: hand pressing.
Manipulating the material between your hands and constantly constructing, or even destroying and rebuilding, we will have the opportunity to reflect on the inevitable or meditate on themes of life. The warmth of the hand and a gentle or even forceful touch gives the candle a particular shape and texture. The finished candles can be decorated with different coloured beeswax sheets.
In the darkest season of the year, a candle sheds light and soft warmth into the space around us.
