The Hampshire College Olfactory Oligarchs has 60 pounds of candle-wax and we just don't know what to do with it all. So come help yourself, and DIY up a candle! FREE!

We will be meeting in Cole Science Center, 2nd floor, on Saturday the 28th at Noon. Come one, come all!

We have 60 pounds of sustainably-harvested, non-GMO soy wax. 50 pounds of it is designed to be put in containers, and 10 pounds is "pillar wax," designed for pouring into reusable molds. We also have a variety of wicks, some dye blocks, all-natural essential oils, and 44 glass jars!

We can guarantee that the first 40 people who come will get to make themselves a candle. What kind of candle you make, is up to you!

If you bring your own glass/ceramic jar (2-8oz) you can make your own candle. I myself will probably be using a Hampshire College shotglass that I found my first year. If you bring your own mold we will try to make a free-standing candle. We already have a request to try to make a mold out of a femur-bone (yay science nerds!)

We at the Olfactory Oligarchs look forward to seeing you there! Saturday, noon, Cole 2-Open.

NOTE: It is against college policy to light candles in an on-campus room of any sort. Candles must be stored away from light and heat. The Olfactory Oligarchs are not responsible for the candles once they leave Cole. These candles are designed to be GIFTS, given to people OFF-CAMPUS. Such as your MOTHER. Because YOUR MOTHER DESERVES A CANDLE. Dig?

This event is on Saturday, February 28th, 2009. It is held at : Cole Science Center, 2nd floor lab (CSC 2-OPEN) This event starts at 12:05pm. This event is organized by : Hampshire College Olfactory Oligarchs
