STST MAKES Folk Club | Candle Making

Welcome to Folk Club! A place for the lost, found, and freshly made folklore and customs of the fair isles of Albion: Éire, Cymru, Alba and England

Folk Club are delighted to invite you to join us in learning how to make hand-dipped beeswax candles. We'll be decorating the candles with seasonal plants, and learning about plant folklore.

Folk Club is a place for all the lovers of folklore. It's a place to follow the year through the seasons and customs that mark it. Most of all it's a place for us to learn the lore of the land and its traditions together, one beautiful archive image and twisting tale at a time.

Run by Eleanor Dempsey and Elizabeth Bailey

Accessibility: There is step-free access to the gallery via the door to the left hand side of the main entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. The event will be taking place in the exhibition space, which is a large open room with bright lighting and some seating available.

Staffordshire St is an independent project space in Peckham, South East London. The venue facilitates arts and cultural events and provides affordable studios for artists, makers and designers. ​

Staffordshire St is not-for-profit and all income is invested into developing our public programme which launched the summer of 2022. The venue was established as an art gallery in 2017, before then it was vacant for many years after a community centre closed. Originally it was built as a Methodist Hall. We intend to support a range of cultural events for the local community.

Staffordshire St will build on the established record of these histories, opening up again to the neighbourhood and developing a welcoming interdisciplinary arts space. More information on upcoming events at : info@staffordshirest.com or @staffordshirest
