Looking for a creative way to kick off the new year? Mark your calendars for Thursday, January 2, 2025, at 6:30 PM (EST) because Sherwood Brewing Company in Shelby Township, MI, is hosting a Candle Making Experience to light up your evening. Located at 45689 Hayes Rd, Sherwood Brewing is the perfect spot to sip on craft brews while crafting your own custom candle. It’s a mix of creativity, relaxation, and fun—all rolled into one cozy event.
What’s Happening?
This isn’t your average arts-and-crafts night. Sherwood Brewing Co. is teaming up with expert instructors to guide you through making your very own candle. The twist? You’ll get to choose from a selection of vintage vessels (fancy talk for cool containers) to pour your candle into. Whether you’re going for quirky or classy, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation that’s uniquely yours.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Candle-Making 101: Learn the basics from skilled instructors who’ll walk you through every step.
- Pick Your Vessel: Choose from an assortment of vintage containers to give your candle some personality.
- Craft and Sip: Enjoy Sherwood’s signature craft beers and hard ciders as you work on your masterpiece.
- Take It Home: Leave with a hand-poured candle that smells amazing and looks even better.
The cost starts at $35 per candle, and a $15 deposit secures your spot (don’t worry—it goes toward your final purchase). Spots are limited, so don’t wait too long to sign up!
Why Sherwood Brewing?
Sherwood Brewing Company isn’t just another brewery—it’s a local favorite known for its “obnoxiously unpretentious beers,” welcoming atmosphere, and killer food menu. Owned by Ray and Lisa Sherwood, this family-run spot has served good vibes in Shelby Township for over 17 years. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, or something lighter like their hard ciders, there’s a drink here for everyone.
And let’s not forget the food! From their famous mac and cheese (seriously, try the Buffalo Mac) to their unique dill pickle pizza, Sherwood knows how to pair great eats with even better drinks. If you’ve never been, this event is the perfect excuse to check it out.
Make It a Night Out
Why not turn this into a full-blown night out? Bring a friend (or five), grab some appetizers, and make it an evening to remember. The brewery’s cozy vibe makes it an ideal spot for hanging out while unleashing your inner artisan. Plus, who doesn’t love sipping beer while making something cool?
If you’re worried about driving after indulging in Sherwood’s brews, consider carpooling or using a rideshare service—safety first!
How to Sign Up
Signing up is easy! Head to the event page or contact Sherwood Brewing directly to reserve your spot. Remember, the $15 deposit holds your place and goes toward your final purchase during the workshop. With candles starting at just $35, this is an affordable way to try something new while supporting a local business.
Oh, and don’t forget—this event has limited seating. So, if you’re thinking about it, act fast before all the spots are gone!
Why Candle Making?
Let’s face it—candle-making isn’t just fun; it’s also practical. Who doesn’t love having a custom-scented candle at home? They’re perfect for setting the mood during a relaxing bath or adding some ambiance to movie night. Plus, they make great gifts! And when you can say, “I made this myself,” it adds an extra layer of coolness.
Even if you’ve never touched wax before (except maybe when blowing out birthday candles), this workshop is beginner-friendly and designed for all skill levels. So whether you’re an artsy type or someone who struggles with stick figures, you’ll fit right in.
