About

Join us for a delightful and eco-conscious workshop at Kinedale Donkeys in Ballynahinch, where under the expert guidance of Amanda, you'll create both beeswax firestarters and reusable beeswax food wraps. These sustainable creations will not only enhance your daily life but also fill your home with the comforting fragrances of cinnamon and pine, making your evenings warm and inviting.

Workshop Details:

Dates: Thursday, November 2nd and 23rd
Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Location: The Snug, Kinedale Donkeys, Ballynahinch
Meet Your Instructor: Amanda

Your workshop will be conducted by Amanda, a creative crafter, and a dedicated beekeeper with a passion for sustainability. As the loving mother of Robert, the owner of Kinedale Donkeys, Amanda brings her expertise and warmth to guide you through crafting beeswax firestarters and reusable food wraps that not only light your fires but also make your kitchen more eco-friendly.

What to Expect:

In this engaging two-hour workshop, you'll craft a set of six beeswax firestarters wrapped in cotton and infused with natural fragrances like cinnamon and pine, as well as reusable beeswax food wraps that are perfect for keeping your food fresh and reducing single-use plastic waste. Amanda will expertly guide you through both projects.

Workshop Highlights:

Create Six Beeswax Firestarters: Craft a sustainable set of firestarters that not only light your fires but also fill your home with seasonal scents.

Make Beeswax Food Wraps: Craft reusable and eco-friendly food wraps that help reduce plastic waste in your kitchen.

Perfect Gifts: Both firestarters and food wraps make ideal presents, adding warmth and eco-consciousness to the homes of your friends and family.

Price: £35 per person

As always, we'll provide hot beverages and treats to keep you warm and refreshed during the workshop. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to spend time with our friendly donkeys and other animals, adding an extra layer of warmth and joy to your visit.
