Design Your Own Candle in 3D!
Get creative with 3D modeling in this beginner-friendly workshop using Tinkercad. You’ll learn foundational modeling skills while designing a custom object perfect for candle casting. With a focus on design thinking, you’ll create a functional piece that’s both imaginative and ready for the next stage of the process.

Please note: This is Part 1 of a two-part workshop series. Candle Making Workshop—Part 2—will take place in the Education Commons on October 15. We encourage you to join both sessions! In Part 2, you’ll bring your creation to life by turning your 3D-printed model into a mold, then pouring a candle version of your design.
