Candle Making

February 1, 2025 to February 2, 2025
Ross Farm Museum, New Ross

At Ross Farm, we craft our candles using traditional dipping methods. We exclusively use beef tallow and beeswax for our creations. Each ingredient is precisely cut to the right dimensions and melted on the stove. Once melted, our candle makers either pour the wax into molds or alternate between dipping and cooling to create dipped candles. This technique is more intricate than simply pouring wax and allowing it to cool.
