What to expect at the Green House Candle Pour Bar!
So you are thinking of joining the Candle Pour Bar at the Green House… Here’s what to expect!
The Candle Pour Bar is offered as a Pop Up Class in Iowa City, at the Green House! For almost two years we have been hosting monthly candle workshops with spirits and friends. If you are coming to the Green House, please feel free to come 15+ minutes early, when guests arrive they are invited to purchase a drink from the bar and settle in. Each cocktail, mocktail, coffee and tea is made to order by the lovely staff - so if you are planning on enjoying a handcrafted beverage, please give yourself enough time to arrive, order, and find your spot.
The class will take place in the green room, which is the front left space when you walk in, and we can host up to 32 people! Since this is a pop up class, we ask everyone register online so we can plan accordingly. The online registration closes at midnight before the event. When you arrive you are welcome to re-arrange spots to accommodate for friends, and we also have many people come solo to make some friends. Come as you are, and we will have fun getting to spend time socializing and creating together. The class will start promptly at 2pm (so come early to get your drink ordered). You will get to choose from 12 seasonal fragrances and 4 jar colors to customize your candle. The creation and candle pouring will take about 60 minutes. After the candles are made, they require an hour time frame to dry (known as are curing) so we invite guests to socialize and relax in the sun filled plant oasis. You can order more beverages, get some snacks, grab a board game, keep on chatting, enjoy the patio (weather pending), and make your custom label on our 1950s typewriter.
We will wrap up together at about 4pm, talk about candle home care, and say our goodbyes!
The Green House is an Iowa City favorite, and I can’t wait to make some candles with you in this very special place. Check the upcoming class dates on the website at turaluraco.com.
