Demystify the art of candle making in this engaging candle making class with instructor Cafi!
 Guided step by step, you’ll explore different types of waxes, practice precise wicking techniques and blend fragrant oils to create a custom scent. The class also covers safety basics, including temperature control and melting methods, to ensure a smooth process. You’ll prepare your materials, pour your own candle and finish with a decorative label for a personal touch. By the end, you’ll take home a beautifully crafted candle that’s entirely your own.
 Every candle-making class is hosted in a fun local venue, from cozy wineries to lively breweries, distilleries or bars. The location changes by date, and you can see the exact spot when choosing your session.
Classes on Classpop! are designed to be fun, social events.

Alfred Yun is a Korean-American jazz pianist and composer. His music is influenced by his upbringing in both Korea and the United States. You can hear influences ranging from jazz, hip hop, and K-Pop to traditional Korean music in Alfred Yun’s compositions.  
Alfred was honored to be chosen by the Music Center At Strathmore as an Artist-in-Residence for the 2023-2024 season. This includes featured concerts at Strathmore’s prestigious AMP club in January and participating in programs throughout the season. In 2026, Alfred Yun was selected to be part of the Jazz and Sonic Arts: Improvised Music Residency at the Banff Centre for Art and Creativity.&nbsp; 
 In 2025, Alfred Yun released his album, Voice and Phenomenon, which investigates the different ways we use the voice — gibberish, games, poems, singing, spoken word, laughter, and more. The album invites the listener into an intimate account of these disparate voices and sounds. It is the most personal and revealing work of his career. Voice and Phenomenon was listed on Capital Bop's Top DC Jazz Albums of 2025.
