Breath in the Coastal Charm of Cape Breton: Sea Glass Candle-Making Workshops in Louisbourg
There’s something undeniably magical about sea glass. Maybe it’s the way it catches the light or the way each piece feels like a tiny, wave-worn treasure with a story to tell. If you’ve wandered along the shores of Louisbourg, you’ve probably seen them—a scattering of soft, frosted gems nestled in the sand, just waiting to be discovered.
This September, we’re thrilled to invite you to our Sea Glass Candle-Making Workshops in Louisbourg. As we partner with Canapa Candle, you’ll turn your coastal Seaglass treasures into beautiful, one-of-a-kind soy candles.
Your Love of Cape Breton Sea Glass
Sea glass has a way of capturing our imaginations. In Cape Breton, especially here in Louisbourg, the coastline offers an abundance of these little treasures. Each piece of sea glass is the result of glass debris—old bottles, jars, or pottery—that’s been tumbled by the sea, softened by time, and polished by the waves. Common whites, greens, and browns are easily found, while rarer hues like cobalt blue, deep purple, and the occasional red are true treasures for the lucky collector.
It’s not just about finding sea glass; it’s about the experience—the gentle ocean breeze, the rhythmic sound of the waves, and the thrill of spotting a flash of color among the rocks and shells. Louisbourg’s beaches are a perfect place to slow down, soak in the coastal beauty, and connect with nature.
From Shore to Candle: Crafting with Sea Glass
Our Sea Glass Candle-Making Workshops are designed to blend the natural beauty of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia with the art of candle making. Picture this: a cozy, creative space by the sea, filled with the fresh scents of lime, lavender, eucalyptus, and more—all inspired by the landscapes of beautiful Cape Breton Island.
You’ll learn to craft your own soy candle using our phthalate and paraben-free fragrance oils, and then you’ll get to decorate your creation with sea glass pieces that speak to you. We have some available or feel free to use your own.
Each candle becomes a reflection of your time spent by the ocean—a beautiful, personalized keepsake that brings the serene vibes of Louisbourg into your home. It’s a hands-on way to enjoy a piece of Cape Breton’s charm, turning found treasures into something truly special.
